Hi,
I have just installed Suse 9.1 on a Fujitsu/Siemens Scaleo 600 with an AMD64 3200+ processor. I installed both versions (32 and 64 bit) in different partitions. The 32 bit version is running fine, sound, card reader and the network.
In the 64 bit version the network card is recognized as "Linksys Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev11)", same as in 32bit. Yast didn't put in the tulip driver, I did that manually.
I am not able to get a dhcp address from my dhcp server, so I set up IP address, host name, router and name server by hand. I can start the network, ifconfig shows correct values, but I cant use it.
netstat -r hangs, if I ping a different machine in my net I get a ping answer with the following error:
wrong data byte #30 should be 0x1e but was 0x2f
I cannot ping the 64bit machine from a different one.
I don't think it's a hardware problem, because the 9.1 32 bit version on the very same machine runs without any problems.
Has anybody a clue what might be wrong?
The tulip driver does not work for the linksys card on the 64bit kernel for some reason. It is a known problem, but we do not have a fix currently. I would recommend to buy a cheap realtek or similar PCI ethernet card and use that instead. -Andi
