Thanks to both of you for your responses. I tried the
/etc/network/interfaces file provided by Brian. The FA311 card is still
dead from the point of view of the hub.
An ifconfig without parameters showed eth0 as up, but not running.
lsmod showed only natsemi, not pci-scan. I set the debug variable to 7
on natsemi, and generated the kernel messages provided below from
dmesg. I see that it now says that autonegotiation did not complete. I
would be happy to provide a complete copy of the dmesg output if that
would be helpful. Should the FA311 card be listed in early part of the
kernel messages? That is when it seems to turn off. Brian, is
pci-scan.o on your system? It was not on mine, and I had to compile it
from the sources. Also Brian, where did you find out about ifup and
/etc/network/interfaces? None of the Linux networking references I have
even mention it.
