I've seen this error on a few occasions. Here are possible solutions.
1. Make sure you are using the correct nic driver. It is easy to transpose
3c509 to 3c905; I've done it. A different 3c509 driver may also correct the
problem.
2. These are isa nics. Make sure you have the nics setup properly. Here's the
drill for isa nics.
a. Go to the 3Com website and download the appropriate setup utility for your
card --
3c509 in the example. Load the utility and disable the eprom socket and PnP on
the nic. You can also change
the irq and io port if there are conflicts.
b. Add two option lines near the top of /etc/dhcpd.conf on the server.
��� option option-128 code 128 = string;
��� option option-129 code�129 = text;
������� Example:
������� default-lease-time 21600;
������� max-lease-time 21600;
������� option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
������� option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
������� option routers 192.168.0.254;
������� option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.254;
������� option domain-name "yourdomain.com";
������� option root-path "192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386";
������� option option-128 code 128 = string; # HERE
������� option option-129 code 129 = text; # HERE
������� shared-network WORKSTATIONS {
����������� subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
����������� }
������� }
c. Add two similar option lines to the host spec. Option option-128 must be
coded exactly
as you see it below -- it is a dhcp code and not a MAC address. The nic's MAC
is specified
in a later line.
������� host ws001 {
����������� option option-128���� e44574680000; # exactly this number
����������� option option-129���� "NIC=3c509";�� # no irq or io address needed
����������� hardware ethernet��� 00:00:C0:51:46:61; # substitute your nic's
MAC
����������� fixed-address��������� 192.168.0.001;
������ }
d. Add the IP and ws name to /etc/hosts.
e. A little bit more info is at the bottom of
