our eth0 (10/100 Intel) hangs randomly ( no network communication
possible) and the following msg is printed in dmesg.
/The EEPro100 chip is missing/
I tried rebooting the box but during eth0 shutdown, the machine hung.
Environment:
2.4.18, eepro100 1.24 (latest one)
running eepro100-diag gave the following.
/eepro100-diag.c:v2.09 7/15/2002 Donald Becker (becker@scyld.com)
http://www.scyld.com/diag/index.html
Index #1: Found a Intel i82557/8/9 EtherExpressPro100 adapter at 0xc880.
i82557 chip registers at 0xc880:
ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff
Interrupt sources are pending.
The transmit unit state is 'Unknown'.
The receive unit state is 'Broken-15'.
This status is unusual for an activated interface.
The Command register has an unprocessed command ffff(?!).
Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 EEPROM contents:
Station address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical connectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII
Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #-1.
Secondary interface chip i82555, PHY -1.
Sleep mode is enabled. This is not recommended.
Under high load the card may not respond to
PCI requests, and thus cause a master abort.
To clear sleep mode use the '-G 0 -w -w -f' options.
/
any idea?
thanx
