Re: more Have Netgear FA310TX eth0 card/trying to set apt source
When I installed potato on my new computer, I had a terrible time with the
tulip driver (2.2r6, or was it r5?). I had to bring my computer in to work,
me and one of the sysadmins figured out that the driver was buggy. After I
rebuilt the kernel, everything worked just fine.
The problem I was experience was that I wasn't getting any DHCPOFFERs from my
ISP. Actually, I probably was getting them, but tcpdump didn't show any. The
same computer worked fine under M$, though (well, as fine as any computer
using M$ can work).
Have you used tcpdump on the interface yet? Is your NIC hearing anything at
all? My problem was that it was broadcasting fine, but it wouldn't receive.
If that's the case, a kernel rebuild might be worth the effort.
Good luck.
