I'm having troubles with Slackware 13.1 and network cards.
I have one on-board Ethernet card (which is recognized and works okay) and a PCI Ethernet card (which is also recognized, but doesn't appear in 'ifconfig -a'). If i run a 'lspci', i can see the kernel recognized the two cards:
But, when i run ifconfig, i only can see the Intel on-board card as eth0.
I remember that slackware 12.0, 12.1 and even 12.2 automatically recognized and configured the network cards, but this version seems to work different.
All lspci does is read IDs off the PCI bus and look up their names in a huge text file. It doesn't care which have drivers. If your honeywell card doesn't appear in ifconfig -a, it's not being recognized by a kernel driver. What exactly is the card? Going by the manufacturer, I doubt it's ordinary.
It could be that this is a supported chipset but has an unusual PCI ID which makes the driver not try to use it. You'll have to figure out which chipset this Honeywell card is using before you can try and coax a driver into recognizing it.
I am using Slackware 7 on my IBM Thinkpad. I am unable to configure it to display a graphical environment. Typing startx usually generates a few errors. The system, however, does boot into the shell environment without any issues or problems. I have been able to setup Slackware 7 successfully... (2 Replies)
Our shops server runs SCO Openserver 5 release 5. It has two network cards in it (one on 10.0.0.6 and one on 90.0.0.99). When I run scoadmin and look at the network settings it show both my 3com network cards and a loop back driver http://theentertainer.com/james/untitled.jpg

Hi,
I'm looking for a command to be able to disable a network card under the boot PROM.
I need it to force my Jumpstart to use the Ethernet card of my server (V880) instead of my fiber card (gem0).
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm looking for a command to be able to list all my network cards available on my server.
With the command "ifconfig - a", I can only see to configured network card(s)
Any idea ? :confused:
Thanks a lot for your help,

The title speaks for itself. I have never attempted this but understand there is a way to use two network cards (en0 and en1) with the same IP address so as to load balance the traffic flow through both cards. Anyone know the answer? (4 Replies)
Hi all,
I have a server running with Solaris and I have 2 Pci cards installed on this server (since a while), 1 with 4 coppers connections output and one with a Fiber network connection output.
Today, this server is using the on board network connection (Ce0).
How can I find the other... (7 Replies)
Hi All,
Hope you are all doing good.
In MY unix box i have 2 network cards. I want to know what if one network card fails. Does the second one will automatically take all the traffic or how it is supposed to work. Also in my logs i am seeing below errors . Can you throw some light of this qfe... (3 Replies)
Hi all
I hate networking, I hate everything to do with it. Its something I do in anger in one contract, then forget. This is more of a question / than a problem.
So, on a solaris 10 server, using older qfe cards, Ive got a sun truck with 4 nics (qfe0,3,4,7), and a ipmp pair (hemo0,qfe1).... (2 Replies)

IE(4) BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual IE(4)NAME
ie -- Ethernet device driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
device ie
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_ie_load="YES"
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.ie.0.at="isa"
hint.ie.0.port="0x300"
hint.ie.0.irq="5"
hint.ie.0.maddr="0xd0000"
HARDWARE
The ie driver provides supports the following 8 and 16bit ISA Ethernet cards that are based on the Intel i82586 chip:
o 3COM 3C507
o AT&T EN100
o AT&T Starlan 10
o AT&T Starlan Fiber
o Intel EtherExpress 16
o RACAL Interlan NI5210
DIAGNOSTICS
ie%d: unknown board type code %d An i82586 chip was found, but the driver was unable to determine the actual board type during the probe.
ie%d: kernel configured maddr %x doesn't match board configured maddr %x The device probe detected a different maddr than the one specified
in the kernel configuration file.
ie%d: can't find shared memory The device probe could not access the shared memory to determine its size.
ie%d: kernel configured msize %d doesn't match board configured msize %d The device probe found a different size for the shared memory than
the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
ie%d: kernel configured irq %d doesn't match board configured irq %d The device probe detected that the board is configured for a different
interrupt than the one specified in the kernel configuration file.
ie%d: reset The Intel i82586 had to be reset by the driver.
ie%d: transceiver problem The driver has detected a problem with the Ethernet transceiver. This is usually due to a loose or broken trans-
ceiver cable when using an external transceiver. When you experience this problem with an on-card transceiver your card may be incorrectly
jumpered for to use an external transceiver. Worst case your on-board transceiver may be broken.
ie%d: TDR detected an open %d clocks away The driver detected an open circuit in the Ethernet cable. Check your coax cable and terminator
resistors.
ie%d: TDR detected a short %d clocks away The driver detected a short circuit in the Ethernet cable. Check your coax cable and terminator
resistors.
ie%d: TDR returned unknown status %x The driver got an unknown status from the card during the Ethernet cable test.
ie%d: multicast address setup command failed The card could not be put into multicast mode.
ie%d: configure command failed The card refused to respond correctly during configuration.
ie%d: individual address setup command failed The programming of the Ethernet (MAC) address failed.
CAVEATS
The Racal Interlan NI5210 comes in variants with 8 and 16 kbytes of shared memory. It is strongly advisable to use the 16 kbyte variant.
You can upgrade your 8 kbyte card to 16 kbyte by adding an additional RAM chip.
