Hello everyone 

Recently it happened to me a few times: switched my motherboard (I do that
about once in two weeks) and suddenly I cannot access anything on network
(LAN nor Intnet). 

Firewall is turned off, iptables shows that everything is ACCEPTed,
ethtool
shows link OK etc. 

The strangest thing is that when I run tcpdump in one window, and ping (or
anything else) in another, tcpdump shows that traffic is going out (ARP
request) and that ARP reply is coming back in, but the rest of the system
seems to just ignore it. Same thing happened with defaul and XEN kernels,
both current openSUSE 11.2 standard 2.6.31.12 and bleeding edge 2.6.34-rc3
from KOTD. 

First I thought the problem was with Atheros ethernet integrated on MSI
770-G45, but the problem suddenly went away after three days. All that
time
Windows 7 worked just fine. 

Of course, I have tried all of the usual tricks: reboot, power off, unplug
the cord for 1 minute and for 10 hours etc. 

Second time it happened with MSI 790FX-GD70, with two Realtek 816x Gigabit
ethernets. I couldn't get it to work whole afternoon and evening and
finally gave up for this week. 

Did anybody see such a strange behavior? 

Best regards, 

Siniša Bandin
