Re: Problem with ethernet i/f



After boot-up,

dmesg gives:

ep0 at isa0 port 0x240/16 irq 11: address 00:69:70:87:12:e3, utp/aui/bnc
(default utp)

This shows that it has detected that the card is 3Com. (ep0)

The cable is also fine. I swapped a working cable.

Still it can't reach another node in the same netw.

any clues ?

thanks
ashley
