Hi, I have installed opensuse 10.2 on an ASUS A8S-X which has the 82540EM on board. By default the nic is recognized and loaded however it will not connect. I downloaded the 7.3.20 and installed but I am still unable to connect to anything. Using ethtools I noticed that packets are being received but 0 (zero) packets are being transmitted. I have tried to connect to two differant "hubs" both of which are 10/100. a linksys workgroup switch, which is about a year old and a d-link di-804hv vpn /router /switch. ethtools -t result is fail and the motherboard is new. The driver compiles and installs without errors but I am unable to even ping from the box or to the box machines on the same net. The only solid issue I can see is tx_packets = 0. Any suggestions?

Sounds like the driver is not getting any interrupts. What is the output from 'cat /proc/interrupts'?

please compile 7.3.20 driver with make CFLAGS_EXTRA=3D-DDISABLE_PCI_MSI and see if that helps.=20 -----Original Message----- From: e10...@li...

Jesse, Sorry I must have missed this post, this is the first I saw of it. Anyway, I was working with John and I messed up and did not get the emails on the list, my fault. To make a long story short: I purchased a pcie intel boeard that we were never at to get to work at all (set it back as a bad card) so I purchased a dlink and it works the same as this one. I just retried the on board controller with a default compile and all is working. The only change is that I have added the boot option mem=4096m. This seems to straighten out issue with the interupts. This is with the memory hole file option selected in the bios. Seems there is still some problems in the bios when you try to use 4 gig of memory in this motherboard. Its an ASUS A8S-X. Currently all is working except only 3 gig is recognized by suse in the meminfo but kcore sees it all. ie meminfo sees 3 gig total but kcore sees 4 gig ??? Bottom line is that the bios / numa / ????? are not all working together correctly which caused the problem with the e1000. Sorry for not posting correctly.
