Ethernet card - work in install, not after

Hello guys,
I'm trying to set up a server on a Compaq Deskpro EN Series SSF (PII 400). I've install ArchLinux the FTP way and it have worked well. But afer the second reboot, total network blackout. I tried to load the module of my ethernet card by rc.conf, no changes. I think it may be a matter of module option. But I don't know what option might be good.
If there is a way to see how the install script of ArchLinux configures the ethernet card (by the automatic way) this problem might be solved quickly.
The key question here is : Why does it work during the installation, but not after the second reboot.
P.S. : I had the same problem with Mandrake with the same computer.

Nobody ever reads the "about" page, eh?
ArchLinux does nothing automatically - it hides details... it's also for the experienced linux user.
You need to know
a) the correct module for your network card
b) how to configure a network
after that, a quick glance at /etc/rc.conf should make it apparent how to do it.
again: arch does nothing automatically

  • [Solved] Atheros AR8151 working during install,not on installed system

    Hi.
    I need help with Atheros AR 8151 ethernet card.
    Problem is that I installed Arch without problem,and after reboot eth0 is not existing anymore.
    Driver for card is atl1c,and it is loaded.
    Any help will do,thank you in advance.
    # ip link set etho up
    Cannot find device "eth0"

    It most likely has to do with the change to the new systemd package.
    https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail … 24231.html
    If you do an 'ip link' and you see the interfaces other than lo, they will have a different interface name.
    This is a quick fix:
    ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules
    This will revert back to the old naming scheme ie: eth0, wlan0, etc
    If this doesn't work, or it isn't the issue, you can just delete the created symlink.

  • Vid card works with adapter, not directly

    I have two monitors available: an old CRT that has VGA connector, and a new Dell E228WFP 22" LCD that has both VGA and DVI connector. My card is ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (DVI and ADC ports). The Dell has worked perfectly for almost a year. The problem began when I wanted to add a riser under the Dell. With the Dell connected and computer on showing perfect video, I disconnected the DVI cord, put the Dell on the floor, put the riser on the desk, put the Dell on the riser, and connected the DVI cord. No video. I have done this type of maneuver a hundred times in the past with various computers and monitors. There is never a glitch unless the resolution is not correct. I can't believe that simply disconnecting and reconnecting the DVI cord will damage a video card. I reset PRAM, no video. I connected the old CRT with a DVI to VGA adapter and it worked great.
    Thinking the Dell's DVI cord may have gone bad, I connected the Dell by VGA cord to a PC that has only VGA connection (typical of office PCs). The Dell worked great. I called Dell and asked for a replacement DVI cord. They took a stubborn attitude and insisted on replacing the entire monitor and all its accessories with a refurb monitor. The next day they arrived and we connected the new monitor using the new DVI cord and no video. They tried the monitor on the PC via VGA cable and it worked great (of course -- I already knew that).
    Since the card works great with the old CRT plugged into the card's DVI port using a VGA to DVI adapter, does that mean my card is till good? I suppose their can be some difference in the pin out of the adapter and the DVI cord. Is that what I am experiencing, a card that has no video through a normal DVI cord but has video through an adapter?

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I had already reseated the card. There are no bent pins in the connector either on the card or on the cable to the monitor. I even had Dell replace the monitor and the replacement came with a new signal cable. The problem remained.
    I finally solved the issue and it is important that all of you at Apple add this step to the troubleshooting list for a Mac with no video:
    I restarted holding option (could boot to an OS X install disc, too I'm sure). That resolved the issue immediately. It seems that the hard drive's OS X auto-adjust feature for the resolution did not work. Booting to the Startup Manager (doesn't load the OS X from the hard drive) defaults to some predetermined setting that is display-independent. Then all I had to do was press Return and it has been well since.
    It is interesting (and annoying) that resetting PRAM did nothing to resolve this while booting to a non hard drive video input did.

  • VI works in IDE, not after being built

    This is going to be a little long, but I'm not sure I have a choice. I'm using Mark Yedinak's SNMP v1 driver in LV2014 32-bit to talk to a Dell G756N rack mounted power distribution unit (think fancy power strip). My code works just fine in the IDE, but causes the program to freeze after I have built it into an executable. I have no idea what is wrong. I built a simpler example VI intending to have an easy example project (Classy Talker.vi in the SNMP Talk project) of where the VI breaks down, but it seems to work even after being built into an .exe. I built the InitializePDU.vi (the one that works) in the SNMP Talk project by dragging the innards of the problem vi (InitializeEquipment.vi in the Dell Power Supply Testing project, this one doesn't work after being built), so they should be identical.
    Using logs, I've been able to track which one is the problem vi. It's the Get snmp Item(s).vi in Mark's snmp communication.llb. Here is a picture of where it fails according to my LVLog.txt file:
    To recap:
    In the Dell Power Supply Testing project
    The Data Collection Quick Shot.vi under "Main" calls Initialize All Equipment Data-Clock.vi. The Initialize All Equipment Data-Clock.vi is responsible for reading the Equipment Config.xml file and presenting the user with choices of equipment to use with the program. The .vi then uses a factory pattern to initialize chosen equipment. 5 of the equipment types work, but the Power Distribution Unit will not complete verification after being built into an executable (this is event 10, "PDU Verifiy), but works fine in the IDE. Using logs, the probelm occurs after the class is cast to the specific class in the InitializeEquipment.vi found under "Hardware\Power Distribution Unit\DellG756N\" when it call Mark Yedinak's Get snmp Item(s).vi from his snmp communications.llb.
    The SNMP Talk project was created to be similar to the problem areas of the Dell Power Supply Testing project. I was hoping it would be a simpler example so that I could get help, but to my suprise it works just fine even after being built into an executable.
    The Classy Talker.vi casts the GenericPDU class to the DellG756N class, and uses the InitializePDU.vi which is the equivalent to the problem vi InitializeEquipment.vi in the Dell Power Supply Testing project. It then just reads the manufacturer and part number from the supply, which is also done in the same manner as the InitializePDU.vi.
    Any help on why one built executable work and the other does not would be really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Simon
    P.S. I couldn't power the Power Supply Testing project here because it is 54MB, so here is a link to it in my dropbox:

    To follow up, Drew Pierce from NI came down to look at the issue. The morning before he came I was expanding my use of log files and finally had an executable build work. I was a little too quick to think I had the issue solved and threw a 2ms wait where the last log file was thinking it was a timing issue. Nope, it was broken again. So I put all of the logging functions back in, then took them out 1 by 1 until I found the one that fixed it. I have no idea why it fixes it, but it does. The offending vi is Mark Yedinak's SNMP Get Request. Here is the fix:
    And the Write Log:
    I have no idea why this works and just putting a wait doesn't:
    If anyone has a theory I'd love to know.
    Thanks,
    Simon
    P.S. I want to be clear that I'm not saying Mark's code is bad, it works flawlessly elsewhere and I'm very thankful he provided it. It has saved my life on this project.

  • Pdnsd works fine, but not after reboot

    Hey guys, I just installed pdnsd and it works great, except that after each reboot, the server fails.
    I've included it in my daemons array right after networking, and on reboot the boot messages show that it's starting successfully, but then it doesn't work and only gives a server failed error message when I run an nslookup or dig search.
    Once booted, I can run /etc/rc.d/pdnsd restart and all is working fine again.
    Anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
    Thanks for any help.

    skymt wrote:Did you get my email? I asked you to run pdnsd as root and see what errors it prints. I've also discovered since then that pdnsd logs to /var/log/daemon.log, so the relevant contents of that file might also be useful.
    Yes, I did skymt and thanks for that.  I got no errors at all and it ran just fine.  I had already looked in daemon.log but didn't see anything that led me to a fix.
    I've found that if I use the "none" option for uptest in the server section, everything works fine on a fresh reboot.  Is there any problem with me using that option?  Or would changing some other option fix it, perhaps?
    All the permissions seem to be in order on all files and folders related to pdnsd.
    Thanks a million for the reply and help.

  • Scrubber works in test; not after "Publish"

    Following Lee Brimelow's tutorials, I have flv video running
    nicely with controls and a scrubber bar. When I test the movie, the
    scrubber works perfectly. But after I publish it and try it in the
    browser, it looses one functionality: The video image remains as a
    freeze frame when I move the scrubber. The scrubber is working, in
    that it does allow me to move quickly through the movie but the
    image remains frozen in a freeze frame so I cannot easily find the
    location where I want to release the scrubber. Can someone please
    help me figure out the difference between the scrubber's
    performance in a test and it's performance in the browser? (My
    action code is a direct cut-and-paste from Lee Brimelow's updated
    instructions for this job.) Thanks.

  • Airport Card works Apps Do Not on Emac

    I have an old emac that I still like to use for certain work on the internet.
    I installed an Airport card that accesses the Uverse wireless signal fine, but then my applications will not access the internet.
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried restarting the computer? Restart the wireless router?

  • Can a video card work sometimes, but not always?

    I'm really confused. After talking with AppleCare, I believe we've determined that my video card is failing. I would frequently get a black screen and would not be able to remove it, regardless of restarts, PRAM resets, everything you name it. Just wouldn't work. Then, all of the sudden, it will work. It's the weirdest thing.
    Is this common for video cards? Can they be broken, but yet sometimes work? Or does it sound like there could be another issue with the mac pro?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    Yes, the X1900 can do many mysterious video things. I have one of the originals and now it is out of warrantie and does many things, the screen goes black randomly, but comes back in a second or two. It will sometimes randomly flash black 3 or 4 times and then not do it for days. (It's doing it now! Still flashing, goin' die on me?) I use a second monitor sometimes and the X1900 randomly remembers the second monitor and resets the main monitor to have the same screen settings when the second monitor is not present. The second monitor has never been the main, so there is no logic there. I bought an aftermarket fan and put that on as that little blower that came with it is useless. The card probably overheated many times before finally showing the effects after warrentee period. Now that I know about the problem it is so touchy. It probably only has a few months before it fails outright. It overheats unless I keep my fan running at 1500rpm+ using SMC fan control.

  • Time Machine not working after ethernet card failed

    A couple of weeks back my iMac Core Duo's ethernet failed. As a logic board replacement for a 3.5 year old iMac would be expensive I instead bought an Apple USB Ethernet adapter (which works great). However, now Time Machine will not work, it says it cannot find the built in network interface. It does not matter whether I connect the external drive directly via firewire or over the network to my Mac Mini (which will backup with either connection).
    Here is the console error:
    +Time Machine: Error setting backup path: Error Domain=com.apple.TimeMachine.Preferences Code=-1 UserInfo=0x1864bdf0 "Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found."+
    +_CSBackupGetMachineMACAddress - IOServiceGetMatchingServices did not find an ethernet service with kIOPrimaryInterface true+
    I tried the instructions on the Apple Support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275#5, but that did not work. Can anyone help?

    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    It's a long shot, but try a "Full Reset" of Time Machine, per item #B3 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    TM uses your Mac's Ethernet Address, which is embedded in the hardware of, guess what, your logic board, to identify your computer. This is how it keeps the backups for each Mac separate, so you can back-up more than one Mac to the same place without conflicts.
    To find this address, use the System Profiler app (click the Apple icon at the left of your Menubar, then +About this Mac,+ then +More Info.+
    Select Network in the sidebar, then Ethernet then find a line like this: +*MAC Address: 0a:1b:2c:3d:4e:5f+* That code, omitting the colons, is what TM puts in a hidden file on your TM volume to identify it as your Mac's backups.
    Since your internal Ethernet card failed, you may not see that at all. If not, neither, apparently, can Time Machine. Other than getting a new logic board, I don't think there's a workaround.

  • Driver wanted for SE/30 Ethernet Card (Cnet CN470E)

    I have a beautiful SE/30 which has a CNet Technology CN470E network card in it. I think the reason i can not get it networked is that it needs a driver for its Ethernet card, and i could not find it on the net. It would be so great if someone could share it with me! Thanks!

    Hello, thanks for caring! The case seems to be this: this card, as well as many other ethernet cards are supported by the Mac OS from 7.5 and above (drivers are embedded upon factory install even for 3rd party cards), and the previous versions could have these genuine Apple "drivers". However, when you acquire the original installs, the custom drivers may be more efficient, eg using larger cache buffers that leads to faster operation and so forth.
    It might be not obvious for those who not use classic OS on a daily basis that:
    1) IP addresses don't get shown instantly like they do in OS-X. It will get the DHCP configuration when starting a browser
    2) I personally could not get Appletalk sharing files, which was another bag of hurt, as sending files over FTP is not straightforward (you have to stuff them, etc which is really painful to get a working version of the ancient software to do it).
    3) configuring the OS is nothing like you can see in the tutorials on the web. one may discover soon that there are no certain control panels, and such.
    I wish i could go back to 7.01 or 7.1 for a faster operation, but im not crazy Figuring this out took a whole night already...

  • Does radeon 5870 + Mac Pro 2008 + Raid Card = Work?

    Confusing subject, I know. My question is, I have a 2008 Mac Pro with the Apple Raid card installed, running 10.6 - I wanted to know, will the Radeon 5870 video card work in this computer, considering that one of my power connectors is already powering the Raid Card? I think this video card needs two power cables and I think my computer only has two (one of which is being used on the Raid Card).
    Can someone with this configuration confirm whether this card works or does not?

    Good question, never thought about that, but there is an FAQ on RAID card, and there is likely a Tech Note as well.
    http://www.apple.com/support/macpro
    I scan the daily changes to tech articles:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=articles
    I assume you don't want to use a y-split and pull power through one 6-pin, even though you may not be overloading or running GPU to the point where it and RAID card would be an issue.
    And avoid having to use a small 450W PSU in optical bay.

  • A22m and A21m will not install/recognize internal Ethernet card after WIN XP clean install

    Hello,
    I have few of A22m's and A21m and a few weeks back I did clean install WIN XP SP2. All is good with the exception of Ethernet card - which is not recognized after the installation. Previously those systems were running XP SP1 and there were no issues with the Ethernet card. 
    I have tried all possible driver downloads from Lenovo/IBM support site including Intel and 3com and still nothing. Supposedly the Ethernet drivers are native to win XP, but for some reason I can't get them to work.
    I want to donate these units to charity, but I want to make sure all works fine. 
    Thanks in advance,

    Welcome to the forum!
    Please post the 7-character model number(s) of your A2x ThinkPads (should be something like 262x-xxx), so we can determine the type of mini-PCI card installed.
    Also, after downloading the drivers, have you unpacked them from the appropriate directory, should be something like C>Drivers>Win>Ethernet.
    Good luck and let us know.

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.
