Hello,
I've got a problem with my Intel EtherExpress Pro/10+ nic. I use a TP
cable.
When I switch on my 4.0-STABLE box, the nic doesn't seem to work. The OS
recognizes my card:
ex0: <Intel Pro/10+> at port 0x210-0x21f irq 5 on isa0
ex0: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:ce:35:30
and ifconfig ex0 shows, that ex0 is up.
But if I try to access any other host, there's no response. (E.g. I can't
ping my default gateway.) The solution is to do some random
ifconfig [-]link[012]
Sometimes I do some 6 or 7 ifconfig commands, sometimes only 1 of them
helps, and sometimes the nic works just fine as I start up my box, without
any further actions.
There are many subsets of chosen links (what ifconfig shows) from the 0,
1, 2 set by the time the nic works. E.g. now ifconfig shows
<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,LINK0,LINK1,LINK2>
but there were many other combinations of LINK0, LINK1 and LINK2, when my
card started to work.
I cvsup-ed about a week ago, and it didn't helped. I searched the mailing
list archives, but I didn't find much interesting about this kind of
problem.
I had ran WinNT for two years on this box before, and there was no problem
with this nic.
Please tell me what else should I tell you about this. Any help is
welcome. Thanks.
Goya
