Description Alexander Larsson 2003-07-09 12:15:54 UTC 
Kudzu 1.1.9-1 breaks my 3Com 3c590 NIC if its loaded before the network is
initialized. If I boot in single-user mode, ifup eth0 and then switch to
runlevel 5 it works though. 

When the card is "broken", it doesn't send packets on the network, and doesn't
recieve *any* packets except locally sent packets and an occational packet with
bad crc.

This is independent of kernel. I tried the RH9 kernel, and it did the same thing.

Can you post your modules.conf and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*?

Can you post your /etc/sysconfig/hwconf? In the case where it doesn't work, what
are the kernel messges from the driver, if any?

Comment 7 Alexander Larsson 2003-07-09 13:01:07 UTC 
no driver messages
Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2003-07-09 13:15:39 UTC 
No driver messages at all? Not even on initialization?
Comment 9 Alexander Larsson 2003-07-09 13:40:48 UTC 
Well. The normal initialization messages are there:

Actually it seems that they are reported twice every time the NIC breaks... That
may be related.
Comment 10 Bill Nottingham 2003-07-09 19:17:59 UTC 
Hm, I installed kudzu-1.1.9-1, and put a craptastic 3c990 10Mb card in my box.
It works fine with kudzu running.
Comment 11 Alexander Larsson 2003-07-09 19:45:56 UTC 
strange...
Comment 12 Bill Nottingham 2003-07-31 04:15:46 UTC 
I'm assuming this didn't spontaneously start working with newer kernels?
Comment 13 Alexander Larsson 2003-08-05 13:58:03 UTC 
Nope. Just installed the latest tree and got the same thing.
