After extolling the virtues of SuSE to a friend, she allowed me to come over with my brand-new 8.1pro disks and do an install on her dual pIII-500 system, which had been running Mandrake more or less happily... The install went well, with a few glitches. We have to boot using 'safe settings', and haven't yet determined exactly which of those parm is the necessary one... The ethernet card (3C595) was autodetected and set up for DHCP. However, it never negotiates a lease. TOnight, I re-configured it for a static IP address, and discovered that it isn't passing packets at all. I get 'destination host unreachable' for even known local machines like the gateway. ANybody know if the 3c595 driver got broke with 8.1? Or am I looking at a major coincidence that the card died during the install? Rick GReen
Funny one, my card 3c509 died as well during the install, what gives ? Maybe it did not die after all ? Any other voies ? Regards Dan Am Dienstag, 15. Oktober 2002 01:18 schrieb Rick Green:

Hi
my card 3c509 died as well during the install, what gives ? Maybe it did not die after all ? Any other voies ?
Maybe this is related... I found some time ago with 3c509 cards, that after booting to M$, the card were in very strange condition, and I had to reset them using the 3c5x9setup utility in Linux. After that 3c509 did work without problems, until next time booting to M$, when same thing happened again. So I believe that M$ is initializing the card to some weird state, where Linux driver is unable to correctly use it, so a reset to correct values is needed. Jaska.

Hmm, so where do we go from here ? I am going to put the "broken" card into an M$ now let's see... Mind you I never user M$ on this card before. What do you reckon ? Regards Dan Am Freitag, 18. Oktober 2002 14:50 schrieb jaakko tamminen:

Hi Maybe it is still worth running the 3c5x9setup.. I remember, that I need to set the interface, because after M$ it defaulted to TP, even that it was using the coax.. that was indeed very strange to me. But after the setup, it did work, so at least that was the solution for older 3c509 cards that I had. (actually several of them, all with same symptoms). Jaska.

I think you're seeing the acpi problem. Try booting with "acpi=off" or "pci=acpi" as a kernel parameter. Anders
You're saying acpi is turning off my NIC ??? Really ? Well I'll try regards dan Am Freitag, 18. Oktober 2002 15:37 schrieb Anders Johansson:

Oops, sorry about that. I forgot to change the kmail "advanced" settings :) That domain isn't mine anymore. Thanks for using "reply to all", otherwise I wouldn't have noticed :)

Well, "interfering with" is perhaps a better word to use. I had the same problem. After upgrading to SuSE's 2.4.19 kernel, my nic stopped working. Setting either "acpi=off" or "pci=acpi" made it work again. Anders
