Has anyone else been experiencing problems with ethernet on boot? Basically I have been unable to get DHCP based configuration working, probably because the network card doesn't start cleanly. I can resolve the problem by doing a:
mii-tool -r -v mii-tool -R and waiting 60 seconds or so. Eventually the ethernet shows it is recieving packets. The weird thing is this lock up occurs on both the in-built rtl8139 ethernet and the PCI DP83815 (natsemi.o) so I'm unsure if this is entirely driver related. Any ideas before I just hack the mii-tool resets into the networking scripts? Alex.
