Since the update i cant get on-line unless i run the following at a terminal after i log in.
Code: Select all
modprobe -r dmfe (this is the driver for the ethernet card)
modprobe -r tulip (this is something to do with it as well..im not sure what)
modprobe dmfe
modprobe tulip
ifup eth0
I'm using debian testing running kde. this all started after i tried to download openoffice.org 2 from unstable. hey, it worked on my other 2 computers. Nothing i have read tells me how to chase this down any further or what config files would put this right.
the module howto and Ethernet howto, make me think the problem is somewhere in the detection , assignment, or loading process of drivers/modules and hardware.
Below is a clipped version of my /var/log/messages.

Dec 2 10:03:02 localhost kernel: eth0: Davicom DM9102 at pci0000:01:03.0, 00:08:a1:6f:53:96, irq 9.I really would appreciate any info that would fix this or would give me a better idea of just what exactly is going on. Thanks
