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.
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?)
