indigo2 seeq8003 problems
Hi,
After recently upgrading to Lenny the ethernet card on my r4k based indigo2 has stopped working. The symptoms are as if the network cable was not present - tried changing the cable and using different ports on the switch. Nothing seems to get 'out'. Not sure if I can turn more debugging on. Pinging and arping'ing the machine from outside fail.
I've tried IP22 variants of linux kernel 2.6.26-2 and 2.6.29-4 (from unstable).
The network card is brought up with (from dmesg):
[17179570.240000] eth0 (): not using net_device_ops yet
[17179570.304000] eth0: SGI Seeq8003 08:00:69:08:43:b2
and when i try to do dhcp or arping I get (the machine has a static address normally):
[17180855.052000] WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6-2.6.29/debian/build/sourc)

The latter error seems to be ipv6 related, not sure if I can disable ipv6 loading at boot time (not sure if it would help).
I'm able to move new deb's/sources on to it via minicom/zmodem but communications with the outside world is otherwise limited.
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks,
Damian
