Few days ago, I noticed my AS machine is running on 10 base half when it
was suppose to be 100 full. I tried to force it using mii-tool, however it
was still saying 10 half.
I decided to open the case and look at the card to verify the model that
os was reporting. When I rebooted eth0 didn 't came back up. I got
'failed; no link present. Check cable? ' error. Then I noticed I had static
instead of DHCP and ONBOOT no at ifcfg-eth0. I fixed that.
# 3Com Corporation|3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado]
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=xxxxxxxxxx
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes
Reinstalled the module, restarted network. It was up this time. I
rebooted one more time, and eth0 was down again. Then I figured
out that I have do rmmod 3c59x and insmod,
start the network after each reboot. I also tried turning APIC off at
the bios. That didn 't change anything.
Why is this? Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks.
