next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Hi all,
I just picked up a couple of linksys LNE100TX cards (because $40 each is a
lot better than $140 for 3com's) and the little buggers refuse to work
correctly. They detect fine (dmesg output follows) but if I try to bring them
up, they wedge my machine solid, to the point where all I can do is a hard
reset.
In the archives, I found references to these guys working fine, but I
noticed the ones mentioned were v2 or v4 chips, and I have a v3 chip. Don't
know if that bears on the problem or not. To prove it wasn't hardware, I've
tried 2 cards in 2 seperate machines and the end result is the same. One of
the machines is 4.1, the other is stable, cvsupped about a week ago.
The only other datapoint I have at this point is that whether or not the
cable is connected, the link light is lit when the boot is complete, but the
switch they connect to is not showing a link and the output from ifconfig dc0
says status no carrier, or something to that effect. I also tried using the
utilities disk to disable autodetect, and set it to 100baseT/full-duplex, no
change in the behaviour
