Once more SiS 900 Ethernet...
XAIPETE!
Its been a week or two ago when I posted a mail about my problems with my
SiS 900 Ethernet card. Ill repeat them with a view words here:
When booting Linux, the system always stops when saying
Configuring network interfaces: done
(yes, the "done" is here). The same time the following kernel message is
given:
eth0: Media Link Off
eth0: Media Link On 100mbps full-duplex
It stops for about a minute and carries on with the network working.
I got several answers helping come over the problem, but not solving them;
now i just always push "CTRL-C" when the system stops. Some said that its
because there is no network cable connected, but thats not true, it stopt with a
cable connected as well.
Now i found out something interesting (i dont know why i didnt see that
earlier...what a shame!). There is another interface up, called dummy0! Ive never
seen that before...might that be the reason for the troubles??? Here is the
"ifconfig" output:
dummy0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:684 (684.0 b)
I hope you can help me, people start askin' "what the hell are ya doin'?"
and i always have to tell them lies...not the best way to demonstrate the power
of (Debian) Linux...
