Hello List: I have tried implementing a bering fw (floppy boot) on Dell Optiplex GX150 with two NICS. One is an "integrated" nic on the motherboard (3c905b), and the other is a PCI card 3c905c. Both are PCI devices, and RedHat 9 finds them both and configures them. Under RH9 (booting from the hard drive) I can ping from both interfaces to devices on either subnet. With Bering, using the 3c59x.o module found via the Bering installation guide, neither interface is brought up. =20 Neither an ip addr sho nor ip link sho command shows these interfaces (get nothing but lo and dummy0). I even tried swapping in the RH9 3c59x.o to replace the one from sourceforge. Still no luck. So I am wondering if the PCI scan utility (whatever it is in Bering --- under Dachstein I load a pciscan module) is not happy with such an integrated NIC. Immediately after boot, a dmesg command shows nothing that looks like an error. The "probing PCI hardware" line appears, and no other complaints seem to arise. In the interfaces file in /etc/network, both eth0 and eth1 are mentioned in an auto command, and are given static Ips.=20 auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static =20 address 192.168.10.254 masklen 24 broadcast 192.168.10.255 gateway 137.45.192.186 #=20 # Option 1.3: PPP/PPPOE (modem connected to eth0)=20 #auto ppp0=20 #iface ppp0 inet ppp # pre-up ip link set eth0 up # provider dsl-provider eth0 #=20 # Option 1.4: PPP modem #auto ppp0 #iface ppp0 inet ppp # provider provider =09 # Step 2: configure internal interface # Default: eth1 / fixed IP =3D 192.168.1.254 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 137.45.192.185 masklen 24 broadcast 137.45.192.255 # .... In /etc/modules there is a single uncommented line 3c59x Above the usual ip_conntrack and ip_nat stuff. What could be wrong?=20 TIA Rick. |
