Dear list, just re-installed Suse of my wife's pc. Strange thing is, that the network seems to be dead. The device eth0 is created, but rx-counters remain zero, tcpdump shows no traffic, except when ping-ing on the same machine ifcfg eth0 shows no indication of any problem. First assumption could be that the board (3C509b, ISA-bus) is broken, however, if i reboot the machine under M$, the device works happily. I know, if you use the latest, state-of-the-art boards, the is a chance that it's not supported yet, but this old board is quite a different chapter. With older versions (Suse, RedHat) is use to have no problems whatsoever... Suggestions (besides replacing the board) ? Hans.
