hey guys, I bought this cheapo NIC at a computer show today for my new
dual pro system, and it turned out to be a tulip card, I've had trouble
getting it to work but because I've heard so many good things about Tulip
cards on linux I decided to hang onto it.. here's the problem, when I
power on the system, I have a link light just fine.. once the tulip driver
is loaded, it dies.. the eth0 interface is configured, all looks fine in
ifconfig except that it shows transmit errors:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:AD:90:BD:27
inet addr:192.168.1.103 Bcast 192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packers:0 errots:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packers:0 errors:73 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:146
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:18 Base address:0x8000
as compared to on this normal machine (my k6-2 w/ the RealTek 8139 in it)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:4F:4E:01:DD:D3
inet addr:192.168.1.101 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:6790 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:7342 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:1 txqueuelen:100
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xe800
so basically, the bad machine has 0 for everything except errors and
carrier, where the normal machine has 0.. how can I figure out what those
errors are, if I even can,and do you guys know what might be the problem?
