Hi Folks:


I'm getting a strange behaviour from GPL qeth ($Revision: 1.337.4.5 $). I've got vanilla 2.4.21 kernel and applied all "june 2003 stream" patches. When I ipl my "linux instance" everything looks ok, eth0 apparently goes up with a given IP. The problem is than I can't ping neither access this interface from wired network. Looking around /var/log/messages, there's a log:

Aug  7 11:51:31 dirc1 kernel:  qeth: setip : return code 0xe00a (dup
network ip address)
Aug  7 11:51:31 dirc1 kernel:  qeth: was not able to set ip
0a6501c9/ff000000 on irq x1, trying to continue

I'm sure there's no other box with the given IP address.
The odd thing is when I:

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 10.101.1.201 netmask 255.0.0.0

Everything works! I can access this linux instance from the network.
Looks like a little bug...


Any help or comments?



bests regards
