... following up my problems from 11/2001 ....
We had a couple recurrances of the problem - where one interface on a DLINK DFE-570TX hangs, and requires an ifdown eth0 ; ifup eth0 to get going again.
This time, I was able to get on and run some tulip-diag's before bringing up the interface.
I know that Donlad B. wanted to see these. First the detection messages (FYI, since
I'm only using eth0 and eth1, I've cut out messages for the other 2 interfaces to keep this
email a bit shorter).
I'll take suggestions, including what I should run next time to offer better troubleshooting
information.
Thank you!
