network not working with Suse 9.1 (amd64)
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? Peter

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

Hi - same problem here. I must say I'm a bit disappointed - but that's the price of living in a Windoze dominated world. A more practical question: Is someone at SuSE or elsewhere working on the problem, so can it be expected that it will be solved anytime soon? I would hate it to buy a Ethernet card only to be told the next day "Hey, we solved the problem!". If a solution is anywhere in sight I would run my machine under 32 bit for a while (to out myself as one with absolute no H/W driver knowledge: is it possible to ru the 32bit driver with 64bit OS?)

And how do we know that a new version is available (if Suse is working on it)? YOU definitely can't tell me that. P.J. -- ---------------------------- Peter-Josef Meisch Mail: pjmeisch@web.de ----------------------------
