Network Access Troubles
« on: August 12, 2010, 01:01:24 PM »
Immediately after booting microcore (Downloaded June 24, so it is most likely version 2.11.5) the network interface functions normally. After about 1 minute, ifconfig reports errors on eth0 and I can no longer get a response from any pings.

What could be the cause of this?

EDIT: I forgot to add, this is while booting from a CD. Booting to an old ubuntu install on the hard drive will not generate this problem.

Boot with parameter:
Code: [Select]
syslog
Immediately after booting, in a dedicated terminal do:
Code: [Select]
tail -f /var/log/messages
If you are "lucky" you might get debug output in real time  ;)

This reports (as does "dmesg | grep 'eth0' ")
Code: [Select]
eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of 45e1."Quick google search led me to

Which seems to be a simiplar problem,  an IRQ conflict.
However, that is about as far as I can go on my own since I am pretty new at this.

Some further investigation points more towards this being a module issue with the network adapter; not and IRQ conflict. The device is a "Davicom DM9102/DM9102A rev49"
