OpenSUSE Install :: Suse 10.3 Assigning Wrong Drivers To Ethernet Ports (e1000, E1000e)?

Aug 23, 2010

I have loaded Suse 10.3 on a system that has 4 Ethernet ports, all Intel chipsets. 2 ports have the 82571 chipset, 1 port has the 82573 chipset and the last one has the 82567. The 82567 chipset can use the e1000 driver and the 8257x chipsets require the e1000e driver. We are only actually using the 82571 ports.

When the system is booted, the 82567 seems to get bound to the e1000 driver and the 82573 gets bound to the e1000e driver. Doing an "lsmod" I see both drivers loaded. It appears the 82571 drivers are getting bound to the e1000 driver which is a major problem. They work for a while but eventually they lock up with enormous error counts according to "ifconfig". How I know the e1000 driver is bound to the 82571 ports is that when I remove it(modprobe -r e1000) and then try to use one of them, I get a "network unreachable". When e1000 is loaded these ports seem to work fine. I tried modding the file in /etc/sysconfig/hardware that corresponds to the PCI address of these ports(i.e., hwcfg-bus-pci-0000:08:00.0) to force the module to e1000e, but no luck there either.

OpenSUSE Network :: SuSE 11.4 - VLANs Cause X86-64 System Using E1000e Module To Hang On Boot?

Jun 10, 2011

Recently, I decided to migrate from SuSE 11.2 to 11.4. My 11.2 installation was working fine with two VLANs and several VMs. I went the route of installing 11.4 from scratch rather than upgrading 11.2.

The installation went smoothly. Afterwards, I ran Yast and changed eth0 to a bonding interface. Then I added two VLANs that used the bonding interface. When I restarted the computer, I saw the following on the console: "Waiting for mandatory devices vlan3005 __NSC__". Then after a 30 second countdown:

"vlan3005 no interface found". The solution to that problem was to add "ETHERDEVICE='eth0'" to /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0.3005". Upon restarting the computer, I could see that DHCP started this time but didn't get an IP address and continued in the background while the rest of the console messages scrolled by. At the point where X kicks in and I should have gotten a GUI login window, the screen goes dark. I cannot get to a console (CTRL-ALT-F1 or F2) or any other GUI login window (CTRL-ALT-F7 F8 or F9).

The computer was completely unresponsive. I could not ssh in to it from another host nor could I ping it. I let it sit for a few minutes but nothing ever appeared on the console. There were no blinking lights on the keyboard. I had to power the computer off. I turned off VLAN trunking on the switch port and the computer booted up fine, without network access, of course. I checked the logs but could find no clues as to what happened. I suspect a kernel problem. However, before I proceed further, I thought I would post my problem here and see if anyone has had a similar problem and perhaps a solution.

Fedora Hardware :: Intel Gigabit Ethernet(e1000e) Broke On 2.6.35 Kernel / Resolve This?

Nov 8, 2010

Just a heads up to others. There is a kernel regression in the 2.6.35 kernel with regard to, some but not all Intel Gigabit ethernet adapters using the e1000e driver. After an otherwise successful upgrade from fedora 13 to 14, no ethernet connection could be made while using the upgraded 2.6.35 kernel that comes with fedora 14. The 2.6.34 fedora 13 kernels work fine and were fortunately still available after the upgrade.

I have personally seen the identical malfunction on all 2.6.35 kernels I've tried with both Arch and Aptosid and have seen similar reported problems on the Gentoo forum. In each case, going back to a 2.6.34 or upgrading to a 2.6.36 kernel solved the problem so this is almost certainly a kernel issue. My onboard Intel Gigabit ethernet adapter is:

$ lspci -vv | grep Ethernet
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

I believe the intel ICH8 chipset motherboards are the ones primarily effected.

OpenSUSE Install :: Suse Radeon HD 5850 Drivers?

Mar 7, 2010

I have been having lots of trouble getting my system up and running after I installed a Radeon HD 5850 on my suse machine. I did as they told by uninstalling the previous drivers and installing the new ones as stated in ATI Catalystâ„¢ 10.2 Linux Installer Note.

2)sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-2-x86.x86_64.run
7) /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial

This was all done from a terminal... And I did this for Suse distributions 11.1 and 11.2. Both times my mouse cursor disappeared, but this could easily be fixed by adding the option "SWCursor" "on" option under the Device section.

This was only part of the solution as I still have incredible lag on my windows e.g. when I scroll down a web page it takes incredibaly long to render and you can see it rendering the page in steps from the bottom up. As well as when I drag a window across my desktop it lags behind and you can se it reforming at the new position.

Finally I tried different releases of the proprietary driver. I tried 10.1 and this did not give me the mouse cursor issue, but the window lag still prevails. These are my xorg.conf and xorg.0.log files for my current setup. Opensuse 11.1 and proprietary driver version 10.1. I have an Radeon HD 5850 card.[URL]..

I should add that I am on a private network, and only have the oss, non-oss and packman repositories available. (Is it possible to add the AMD driver repository? Because I have trid and the firewall refuses connection.)

Networking :: Red Hat Not Recognizing/assigning Onboard Gigabit Ports Correctly

Jan 18, 2011

I have two onboard gigabit Ethernet ports and 3 10Gb add-in fiber ports. When everything is cabled but nothing is IP'ed yet, I do an ifconfig -a and the two gigabit ports are showing as "__tmp2143330114" and "__tmp1076785124", eth0, eth1 and eth3 show as the 10Gb addin cards. On other (identical) servers, eth0 and eth1 are always the gigabit ports and eth2, 3, and 4 are the 10Gb ports. Anyone know what is going on?How can I make sure that Red Hat detects and assigns these ports correctly on boot, or at least can I reassign what ports are designated eth0-eth4?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.2 And Parallel Printer HP4L (Wrong Drivers)

Dec 28, 2009

I use (open) SUSE since version 7.1 and never had any trouble using my HP Laserjet 4L. So I hardly paid any attention to the installation after installing OpenSuse 11.2. Until I tried to print something from OpenOffice.org and my printer started printing empty pages with a first page with some garbage. It looked like a wrong driver. Suse recognized the printer without any trouble and installed - what seemed the correct - driver. I tried several other drivers from the list but they all gave the same result.

Something wrong with the printer - which functions already more than ten years? I tried it on Windows Vista (dual boot on the same computer) and Vista printed without any problem a correct test page. So nothing wrong with the printer. I tried a live CD with Ubuntu 9.10. And Ubuntu gave the same problem as OpenSuse: printing a line with garbage and empty pages. Is something wrong with the kernel?

Fedora Installation :: Install The Broadcom STA Drivers From The Live CD Without Using An Ethernet Cable?

Aug 3, 2011

Since there is no "Additional Drivers" app in Fedora like there is in Ubuntu, how the heck can I install the Broadcom STA drivers from the Live CD without using an Ethernet cable? And how the heck can I ensure that they stay installed, even after installing Fedora? I suppose putting the RPM on a USB Flash Drive will work, but that's the only thing I can think of... And is there an RPM out there for this specific driver?

Fedora :: Ethernet Ports When Restarting?

Jun 29, 2011

I've had an issue in KDE where each time I restart my computer, I get 5-7 notifications that it wasn't able to connect to my ethernet port. (Or something close to that) I think it's trying to connect to my marvell port over and over. Has this happened with anyone else? I think I remember this happening with Ubuntu as well only it only tried to connect to that port once and then stopped trying.

Networking :: Configuring Two Ethernet Ports?

Apr 16, 2010

I have a system with one (sometimes two) ethernet ports, that works happily in an old Fedora 5 build. But I can't get it to work on a new Centos 5.4 build. Original system: One dedicated ethernet port on card always connected to the systems dedicated equipment and no external access (the system is the DHCP master for that network). An optional second USB dongle that is a second ethernet port, used for debugging and development. (This is a DHCP client with full conectivity. In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I have ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1 and a route-eth0. Neither of the ifcfg files needs an explicit HWADDR, which means the same ones work for all boxes. And when one needs to be connected to the network all is fine.

The system is being moved to Centos 5.4, most is working with minimal change, but I am having problems with the ethernet ports. If it only has the on board ethernet connected, all is fine. If you have the USB dongle connected things go wrong: This system brings up the USB ethernet first, and tries to assign it to eth0 (which fails), and then brings up the on board ethernet as eth1 (which also fails). I have tried forcing the behaviour of the network by setting the HWADDR(s), but this does not result in the on board coming up as eth0, it comes up as __tmpxxxx as follows:

ifconfig -a
__tmp226406138 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:66:07:A8:63
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000

[Code]...

Currently the only solution is to unplug the USB dongle through restart and plug in afterwards, and this wont work when the unit is remote and in the field.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Completely New To Suse And Drivers For Radeon HD 6850?

Jun 26, 2011

Ive been a ubuntu user for about 3 years now, but lately I wanted to find something new. Ubuntu is beginning to feel less and less like "linux". So anyway I am having a bit of trouble getting my gfx card working in suse. I have a AMD Radeon HD 6850. In ubuntu I just get a popup says that restricted drives are available, and i click to install them. but In suse im not quite sure what to do. I believe I have the drives installed correctly, but I get a AMD watermark in the bottom right corner of my screen saying my hardware is unsupported.

What is the easiest way to get the latest working drivers for my video card? and keep them updated properly with each kernel update like in ubuntu? btw, im running openSUSE 11.4 64-bit.

I know this has been asked before, but im a complete noob to suse and I cant seem to find a answer that im able to understand.Other than this issue with my graphics driver I love everything else.

Fedora Servers :: OpenVPN Setup On FC12 - Ethernet Ports?

Apr 12, 2010

I am trying to setup a VPN on my FC 12 box. Looks like getting openvpn to work behind NAT is as easy as just forwarding the ports. Do I need to forward any specific protocols (GRE, etc)? Also, can I do this with one Ethernet port (IE: RJ-45 jack), or do you recommend a second ethernet port? I could add in another PCI ethernet card if it makes it easier. Anyone know if a single ethernet jack will work or do I need two?

Ubuntu Networking :: Ethernet Ports Not Working On Fresh Build

Feb 27, 2011

I had 2 Ethernet ports and neither of them were working on a fresh build a friend was struggling with. After reading the suggestions to fix the issue and thinking that there had to be an easier way I had an epiphany. I would go to my spare parts box and bring out my old Netgear GA311 and pop it into the slot. So after searching for 10 minutes I found it and installed it. Booted up the rig and it found that right away (SWEET) now that's not the fix anybody can do that, once I updated Ubuntu the on-board ports started working (that's what I'm using now). I can't explain what the update did but for a few bucks a used card in the tool box might not be a bad idea!
Mother board is a Gigabyte GAX58A-UD5 Rev.1 Personally I'm an ASUS guy.

Ubuntu Networking :: Two Ethernet Ports And Share Internet Via A Switch

Apr 30, 2011

Just recently got a new rig, and was wondering, is there a way to share internet via a switch. I understand the problems with switches is that they dont assign IPs like routers do, but if my ubuntu machine worked like a router by assigning IPs, could it work? Current setup is as such. I have one ubuntu machine with 1 ethernet port (this shall be the main preferably) 1 mac with a single ethernet port 1 modem with a single ethernet port that cannot assign more than one IP address. And a 5 port switch. Would it be possible to place the modem into the switch, get the ubuntu machine to receive the IP address, and broadcast all other address' to everyone else via the same switch and ethernet cable?

Ubuntu Networking :: Bridging Ethernet Ports & Keeping Static IP On One Port

Mar 11, 2010

I'm currently using Ubuntu 9.1, and a motherboard which has two Ethernet ports on it.

What I would like to do is bridge these ports, so I can plug in another Ethernet cable and run it to an unmanaged switch in my room (handy for my work laptop when on-call and building other PCs, etc).

I.e. Router --> 8-Port Switch --> My PC.
Eth 0 --> 192.168.1.100 static
Eth 1 --> 5-Port Switch --> DHCP

I believe this is the config to make the ports bridged:

ifconfig Eth0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig Eth1 0.0.0.0
brctl addbr Bridge0
brctl addif Bridge0 Eth0
brctl addif Bridge0 Eth1
ifconfig Bridge0 up

- How do I save this so upon reboot it sticks?

- How do I force Eth0 to remain as a static IP of 192.168.1.100?

Red Hat :: PXE Boot (pxelinux.0) Is Using The Wrong Ethernet Port?

Jan 26, 2011

My environment is RHEL5. For the sake of discussion, I have two systems, each with multiple ethernet ports.

To simplify the discussion, let's say each computer has two ports. One port is the "public" ethernet (eth0) and the other is the "private" (eth4) ethernet.

All the boot activities must occur on the private site, and to a point this works well. DHCP works, the pxelinux.0 file is transferred (seen using wireshark) and the client appears to bootstrap, when the bootstrap restarts the DHCP handshake using the wrong ethernet port (eth0).

The client does NOT get far enough along to read the client's configuration document under pxelinux.cfg.

How do I instruct pxelinux.0 to use eth4 and not eth0 to continue the boot process?
