Hello masters,
i ve 2 ethernet cards in my RH7.2 sys. ethtool -i eth0 shows the status for 3com card,
*[RH7.2]# ethtool -i eth0* *driver: 3c59x* *version: LK1.1.16* *firmware-version:* *bus-info: 01:0c.0*
but for the second card which is from realtek, it says
*[RH7.2]# ethtool -i eth1* *Cannot get current device settings: Bad address*
this second card is working fine, no problems. there is corresponding entry in modules.conf file as well. lsmod shows it to be loaded, but still ethtool doesnt seem to work.
any help with this regard will be appreciated.
Is the card up? Does it appear when you do "ifconfig -a". You probably don't have the card configured. If not, you need to copy /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 and edit it appropriately (change "DEVICE" to "eth1" and modify the IP address and netmask, and remove the gateway). Then try "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop;/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start" and verify the card comes up by doing "ifconfig -a". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, SSE, VitalStream, Inc. rstevens vitalstream com - - 949-743-2010 (Voice) http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - If Bill Gates got a dime for every time Windows crashes... - - ...oh, wait.
