Hi there, I'm running 9.2 for a month now and no real problems... Except for one thing. After boot, the network is not available while there are no errors during boot. After issu'ing /etc/init.d/network restart the network is available. When the script brings eth0 down, there is a line saying "eth0 does not exist". When I run it the second time, there is the same message stating that device lo doesn't exist..... Hm... Like I said, no real problems, just some annoyance. In the boot.msg there are lines: <4>eth0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940) done eth0 device: 3Com Corporation 3c940 10/100/1000Base-T [Marvell] (rev 12) eth0 configuration: eth-id-00:0c:6e:60:c6:54 eth0 IP address: 192.168.0.4/24 and it looks like no problem. Except for the fact that it doesn't work directly. In /var/log/messages there are lines like: Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: eth0: network connection up using port A Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: speed: 100 Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: autonegotiation: yes Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: duplex mode: full Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: flowctrl: symmetric Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: irq moderation: disabled Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: scatter-gather: enabled Nov 29 11:04:18 quasar kernel: rx-polling: enabled And after the network restart: Nov 29 11:17:35 quasar kernel: eth0: network connection down Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: eth0: network connection up using port A Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: speed: 100 Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: autonegotiation: yes Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: duplex mode: full Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: flowctrl: symmetric Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: irq moderation: disabled Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: scatter-gather: enabled Nov 29 11:17:37 quasar kernel: rx-polling: enabled I can't find any differences. The Mainboard is a Asus P4P800 with an onboard Asustek (3C940 ) using the sk98lin driver. Regards, Peter
