Hi folks,
I wanted to give OpenBSD a new try and installed it on my
Asus EEEPC 701. Install went well, but for some reason
the network interface lii0 reports "no carrier".
Since I have no network in the OpenBSD computer, please forgive
me for not going through the regular sendbug routine but
posting the bug report directly to this mailing list.
Just to make sure this is not a hardware problem: I test
booted Ubuntu 10.04.1 i386 desktop from CD ROM and network
was fully functional. I did not change anything in the hardware
between boots, and the network cable remained untouched.
Here is what I did after startup:
- log in as root
- type "ifconfig lii0 192.168.1.55"
Result:
- "ifconfig lii0" returns:
lii0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr <correct MAC address>
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
inet6 ....
- if I instruct ifconfig to use a particular media type, the media
line reflects this correctly, but the "status: no carrier" stays
the same.
Here are the lines /var/run/dmesg.log contains about the lii0 device:
lii0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Attansic Technology L2" rev 0xa0: apic 1
int 17 (irq 11), address my MAC address>
atphy0 at lii0 phy1: F2 10/100 PHY, rev. 2
I hope this helps you, please contact me if you need further info
or if you want me to try some experiments.
Cheers,
Rudi
