Hi folks, This is a little OT for this list, but I thought I'd ask around here before annoying the kernel gods on the kernel list.
At the moment I'm running 2.4.3-ac7 with no real problems. I have an ethernet card which identifies itself thusly to lspci 00:0b.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX (rev 20) This uses dhcpcd to get an IP address to connect to the outside world. I also have another NIC, which also uses the tulip chipset (as does the one above) to connect to my local lan. I tried upgrading to both 2.4.5 and 2.4.5-ac1 last night, and with both of these kernels, my NIC was unable to connect to the dhcp server to get an ip address. If I rebooted back into the 2.4.3-ac7 kernel, it works fine again. The other NIC works fine, regardless. Is there anyone else here who is having problems with that kernel and that NIC? I haven't yet established whether it's the card or dhcpcd or a combination of both, unfortunately. Any advice on how to further diagnose the possible problem? Any other info that would be helpful? cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Homicide is, no matter what else it might Department of Criminology | be, a social relationship.
