Hi, I'm using R5, it works great, but the ethernet hardware is not responding ie: during the boot precess the eth is recognized as eth0: BMAC+ at 00:50:e4:7a:37:51 after booting I issue: # ifconfig eth0 192.168.3.2 broadcast 192.168.3.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:e4:7a:37:51 inet addr: 192.168.3.40 Bcast:192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric: 1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:42 Base address:0xc000 # route Kernel IP routing table Destination GW GenMask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.3.40 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo So the net is ok but when i try to ping any box in the net nothing happends: # ping -c 5 192.168.3.1 PING 192.168.3.1 (192.168.3.1): 56 data bytes--- 192.168.3.1 ping statistics ---5 packets transmited, 0 received, 100% packet loss #ifconfig eth0 XXX --- Same as before but RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Then I guess that no packets were efectively transmited by the kernel eth driver. Why?? What wrong?? There is other things yet, after boot /dev/interrupts says: CPU0 XX: XXX 32: 0 PMAC-PIC BMAC-txdma 33: 0 PMAC-PIC BMAC-rxdma 42: 0 PMAC-PIC BMAC-misc after the ping the interrupts remains as before so no interrupts were handled by the driver, well if no packets were TX as i guess no intr were generated that coherent. but if I issue: #ifconfig eth0 down #ifconfig eth1 up #ifconfig eth0 XXX --- same as before RX packets:0 errors:1 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:1 TX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 XXX --- same as before why r RX errors? and why i try to TX 1 packet?? Any ideas why is this appening to me????
You mentioned this is a Lombard in the subject, yes? Have you applied the ethernet patch at www.terraplex.com/~dburcaw/bmac.patch and recompiled your kernel? -Hollis [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
