It happens on two computers and I tried about 5 or 8 times (each without success) before looking into it and replacing cables. > I have had a long history of FAI failing to recognize the network card (of > various makes and models) even though PXE boot and installed system > afterward both work just fine. That's interesting, too, but different from my case. My network card(s) are recognized and only the link cannot be established. > I guess this must be some sort of time-out or collision resolution > issue, but I have never been able to find out the details. For that reason I wrote a hook (confdir.DEFAULT.jook) that waits up to 10 seconds for 'eth' to come 'LOWER_UP' (using 'ip link show up'). In most cases the network is up in under 3-4 seconds. In the mentioned cases waiting even longer doesn't change anything. > Just trying to live with it. Yes I will. It isn't 'really' serious since I can work around - it's just somehow 'myterios'. And as Thomas said ' Anyway, always check the cable if you have network problems ;-)' Christian
