Hey all & happy holidays...
I was wondering if anyone might have some insight into
a network problem I'm having.
My networking setup in SuSE 7.1 was working
flawlessly. Then I backed up everything and installed
7.3, but with the same settings I'm unable to get my
network back up (no matter what I tried). Just to
test my sanity I reinstalled SuSE 7.1 again, got the
network back up, and did an 'upgrade install' to SuSE
7.3. Sure enough 7.3 messed up my network settings
somehow.
Anyway, if you're still with me and don't mind having
a look at some info I procured, I sure appreciate your
time. Sorry if there's redundant info here (please
skip right on over it)...
Setting up the 'Network Configuration' via Yast/Yast2
produces no errors. But I can't 'ping' myself.
$ ping 192.168.1.20
connect: Network is unreachable
--------------------------------------------
The PCMCIA HOWTO claims that 'Network is unreachable'
is "foolproof indication of a routing error", but the
routing info (only a static IP address & netmask) is
identical to my 7.1 settings.
Ok, I'll start from the beginning. I have a LinkSys PC
Card - NP100.
'SUPPORTED.CARDS' lists a 'Linksys NP100 Network
Everywhere v2' (w/axnet_cs driver) and a 'Linksys
NP100 Network Everywhere' (w/pcnet-cs driver).
--------------------------------------------
Here's what cardctl tells me. (v2?)
$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "Network Everywhere", "Fast Ethernet
10/100 PC Card", "2.0", " "
manfid: 0x0149, 0xc1ab
function: 6 (network)
--------------------------------------------
proc/net/dev shows no sign of 'eth0' (I believe 'eth0'
was automatically detected in 7.1)
$ cat /proc/net/dev
Inter-| Receive

sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0

--------------------------------------------
And 'ifconfig' doesn't list 'eth0' either (only
'lo'?).
$ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

--------------------------------------------
And 'route' also gives me absolutely nothing (i.e., no
'eth0').
$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags
Metric Ref Use Iface
--------------------------------------------
Is my problem with resource assignments?
Here's my interrupts.
$ cat /proc/interrupts

--------------------------------------------
Now here's a section from '/var/log/messages'. I don't
understand much here... Some IRQ problems? It does
show a load attempt of the 'axnet_cs' driver, but at
the bottom there's a problem.

Nonetheless, an 'lsmod' shows 'axnet_cs' loaded.

--------------------------------------------
If I remove the 'axnet_cs' module and try to load
'pcnet_cs' as recommend in /var/log/messages (last
line above), I get the error "pcnet_cs: Card Services
release does not match!" in 'dmesg'.
$ modprobe pcnet_cs

Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

I don't know if this help, but here's 'lspci'.

Lastly, 'rcnetwork start' does nothing useful that I
can see.
$ rcnetwork start

--------------------------------------------
And 'rcnetwork start' w/the addition of 'eth0' gives
me this.
$ rcnetwork start eth0

Please run `rcroute start' to restore the routings.
--------------------------------------------
Also, 'eth0' is no where to be found in 'dmesg'
start-up messages.

Sorry to have you read all this...
