Ethernet Card

Hello all,
I've inserted one PCMCIA ethernet card in a V440.
When I started the machine just only one port (the on board one) is shown with the ifconfig -a command.
So I created the others ports of the Ethe Card with the following command:
ifconfig ceX plumb
and then I added the IP to that port:
ifconfig ce1 172.17.0.58 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
So I tried to make a telnet to that IP, but it is not reachable. So I decided to reboot the machine. But when I made an ifconfig - a command after the reboot, all the port I've created disappeared and only ce0 is present, and also is present with another netmask.
Can anybody help me with this ?
Thks in advd

G5 Can't See Gigabit Ethernet Card

Some months back, I installed a gigabit ethernet card into my G5. It worked fine for a few months, then stopped working with a message: The cable for PCI Ethernet Slot 3, Port 2 is not plugged in. I wasn't working on the project that required that connection, so I just let it go. Now I need to connect to a different gigabit switch. I installed a new D-Link card into the same slot as before - same result. I moved the D-Link card to a different slot - and got the same error - still referring to Slot 3. Just for kicks, I installed the old card back into slot 2 (the one above the video card). Same error - and no mention of finding two cards or of anything in the other slots. It seems as if somehow all of the PCI slots are being ignored.
Running the System Profiler, I get a "No Information Found" for PCI Cards. None of the lights on either ethernet card come on. Any ideas? Everything else on the machine seems to be working correctly - the built-in ethernet is fine. There are a lot of drives connected to the system (4 on the FireWire 800, 1 on FW 400, 4 on USB). Is there some way to force a re-scan of the PCI bus? or turn it on?
Thanks!!

Thomas -
Yes - I tried swapping slots. A gigabit card worked fine in slot 3 for several months. It stopped working - I figured it was the card that was th eproblem. I have since replaced the card, and then moved the new one to a different slot. The Network control panel still reports a card in slot 3, even though there is nothing in slot 3. The new card is in slot 4 (and just for kicks the old card is in slot 2). Neither of these is recognized by the the System Profiler or the network control panel.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

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.

Ethernet card no longer showing in ifconfig [solved]

Hey,
Normally I don't have any problems with my networking, but this morning my wireless decided not to work. I haven't made made any changes in the past couple of days, so unsure what has caused it. Last Syu was on Thursday and every day including up until last night was fine.
So spent a while trying stuff out and stressing my tiny little brain for ideas, quick version is I did this:
netcfg: said interface didn't exist.
ifconfig: didn't list the interface (wireless is usually eth1)
lsmod: confirmed the module (ipw2200) was loaded
lspci: confirmed the card was there
After copying the output of the above commands plus the obligatory rc.conf onto usb to move to this machine (and just before pushing <submit> on a much larger post than this :-) I decided to check the mac address listed in ifconfig with what is on the sticker under my machine. Voila! My wireless has actually moved to eth0. OK, that's that solved. (Wish I checked that first though...)
But that means that the reason that my wireless card is now eth0 instead of eth1 is because my old-skool wired ethernet card is no longer there to be numero 0. Why isn't it working? lsmod shows that the tg3 module is loading (it's an Intel card with Broadcom chipset in a Thinkpad T43) , but it no longer shows up in ifconfig. lspci is not showing it (see below), only the wireless card comes up. Does this mean the hardware is borken? What else can I do to check the card?

Yeah, doesn't give me anything about the ethernet card, but does show the wireless one. No, hang on, just found it. Hmmm, didn't see it before, but I was grepping for 'net' then.
$ dmesg | grep -i eth
eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95751M) rev 4101] (PCI Express) MAC address 00:12:34:56:78:9a
eth1: attached PHY is 5750 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1])
eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]
eth1: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit]
OK, so it is at eth1 now, that makes sense since I put ipw2200 right at the beginning and tg3 right at the end of the MODULES array in rc.conf to avoid the system getting crossed up while trying load them too close together. Thanks B, so at least we know something is happening at boot time.
Btw, my assumption is that ifconfig shows hardware once it is loaded correctly, is that right? But apart from the modules, what else do I need to do to get it showing up in ifconfig?

Ethernet Card Not being Detected on my iMac 27Inch (Mid2010)

Hello,
I have only had my iMac for a couple of months, and it appears to have developed a fault. I have a network router, and a network cable is plugged in however, the Network Panel keeps reading as "Cable: Unplugged". It is not, i can assure you.
When I got into the About This Mac > System Profiler, it has "This computer does not appear to have any PCI Ethernet cards installed." under the Ethernet Card option
I'm currently on Wireless (very skechty), and that also keeps dropping out even though the router is less a foot from the iMac.
Any Solutions or Advise please?
Thanks Phill C

I have the same problem after I installed LION on my imac 27" (Late 2010). It was working for few days and then after I restarted my computer my network card just went dead. Since I have several partitions I can boot back to Snow Leopard and it shows me ethernet just fine. So it means that LION has bugs and many bugs from what I can tell. It is wide spread problem and not sure if apple is doing anything about htis.

Ethernet card issue...can't get rid of self-assigned IP

Hi folks,
I am using an circa 2005 iMac G5 PPC desktop with 10.5.8. I am trying to connect the iMac to my Time Capsule via ethernet cable, but seem to be having problems with my ethernet card. When I plug into the TC ethernet port, the TC drive, does not mount and I cannot access the worldwide web.
When I go to System Preferences --> Networking, the tab on the left for ethernet connection shows a green dot, says "self-assigned IP" and the status says "connected" PRIOR TO CONNECTING THE ETHERNET CABLE TO THE TIME CAPSULE. It shows a "self-assigned" IP (DHCP selected) of 169.254.69.249, even though I know my TC is 10.0.1.1. Turning the ethernet off then back on, renewing the DHCP lease, nothing seems to be able to make this 169 IP address go away. The wireless connection to the TC is just fine... everything does what it should, I just can't get the ethernet cable connection to work.
Out of curriosity, I went to the System Profiler, and on the network tab it shows ethernet IPv4 169.254.69.249 (name en0).
I know it's not the Time Capsule, as I connected my laptop to it just fine via ethernet. The TC was IP 10.0.1.1 and it assigned 10.0.1.5 to my laptop (I have a variety of devices on my network), and I was able to transfer data and access the internet with no issues whatsoever.
I live in an 32 story apartment with a built-in ethernet network and ISP included in my rent. It's pretty nice, high speed. I connect from the wall to the Time Capsule via ethernet (circle dot connection port, so I know I have the right port), and then wirelessly out to a couple of laptops, a couple of Airport Express, and of course my desktop.
Bottom line, I think the ethernet card on iMac G5 desktop has gone bad: A few questions:
(1) Any ideas what may be wrong? Has anyone seen this self-assigned IP thing that won't go away?
(2) Any ideas how to fix it?
(3) How much will it cost? It may be time to replace my 6-year old desk top computer.
Thanks, Andy

I've swapped out several cables still with no luck, and the current cable definitely has 8 pins and worked with my laptop, so I'm confident it's not the cable. Also, the Time Capsule seems to be OK, because it too worked with my laptop using the same port. The only variable that doesn't seem to be cooperating is my desktop computer.
Also, I have tried to manually assign an IP consistent with the network & appropriate subnet mask. It seems to take the IP address manually, but still I can't get internet access, and can't ping the Time Capsule in network utility either.
Finally, when I connect the desktop directly to my wall outlet, taking the router out of the equation entirely, network diagnostics shows ethernet failure...
Does that sound like a bad ethernet card?
What does it take to replace an ethernet card in an iMac G5?
Cheers, Thanks, Andy

Is there a PCMCIA Ethernet card for Powerbook G4 OS X 10.4.8 ?

My ethernet port on my Powerbook G4 is damaged and can no longer be used. I looked into getting it repaired but that apparently requires replacing the entire system board at considerable cost. Rather than take that route, I was hoping to find a PCMCIA card with an Ethernet port but I cannot seem to find any that will work with OS X 10.4.x.
Does anyone know of such a card ?
Thanks for your help !

How old is your Powerbook?
A Mac older than 4 years old may need its clock battery replaced by an authorized service center. The clock battery dying can cause certain ports to malfunction as well. If it is under 4 years old and no surges broke the port, try zapping your PRAM, it may solve the problem once and for all:
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n2238
If it is under AppleCare, there may be no cost at all. Any Mac under a year old is under AppleCare.
Also replacing the system board can be cheaper than from Apple directly if you take it to one of these places:
http://www.dttservice.com/
http://www.powerbookresq.com/
http://www.microdocusa.com/
http://www.macspecialist.com/
http://www.techrestore.com/
In addition, if the port got burnt out by a storm surge or power surge your home/apartment insurance or credit card company you purchased the machine with may pay for the damage. So check each of those sources if you can't find an appropriate card.
http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ lists a variety of upgrade cards in their database, and may have some ethernet cards you can look at.
By the way, the fact that port is broke suggests the possibility that any other system difficulty you are having may also be related to logicboard issue in anycase, so replacing the logicboard is a good idea if you are noticing other issues.

Hi. Unfortunately my ethernet card was not working anymore. This is the message "This computer does not appear to have any PCI Ethernet card. How can I fix it?

i would try an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
if it still gives that message, you need to take it to apple store or apple service provider to have a new card installed. the apple site gives listings of providers and stores in your area:

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.

Pcmcia ethernet card on compaq notebook

Hi can any one tell which Pcmcia ehrnet card supports for solaris x86 intel on notebook .....
I am using compaq presario1200 notebook and had netgearpc card which is not working with solaris 8
appreciated for the help

I finally got PCMCIA to work. But it was a battle.
My ethernet card DLINK DFE-690 TXD will NOT work with Arch 0.7. (It does work when using the Arch 0.7 Installation CD but after installation, it does not work).
I tried everything. (e.g. disabling almost everything in rc.conf and the config scripts). I even tried manually inserting the modules using modprobe. And then running dhcpcd. But dhcpcd failed since the ethernet PCMCIA card was "BUSY".
I found the BUG! The problem is with the 2.6.10 kernel that the arch 0.7 CD installs. In other words, the stock IDE or SCSI kernels that come with the 0.7 installation CD's are buggy.
I reinstalled arch usng FTP install. (arch 0.7.1 is then installed with a newer kernel 2.6.13). Arch 0.7.1 was able to properly detect and setup my PCMCIA card and get networking going.
I did NOT enable the pcmcia or hotplug daemons in rc.conf. You do NOT need to. They automatically get set up in the loadng modules stage (where some auto detection is being done).
So if anyone else is having problems, just use the FTP installation which installs arch 0.7.1 and a newer kernel 2.6.13.

Configure Network (Ethernet Cards) interfaces doubts.

Hi All,
I m beginner in Solaris/Unix, and I have same problems in configure my network.
I have one machine with 2 Ethernet Cards, this machine has multiboot, than it have Solaris 10 and Windows XP.
I will show the configuration that I have on Window,I need the same configuration in Solaris:
In eth0:
IP: 192.168.0.117 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is IP, OK?)
Mask: 255.255.255.0 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is
netmaks , OK?)
Gatway: 192.168.0.254 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig broadcast, OK?)
Primary DNS: 192.168.0.254 (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
Secondary DNS: void (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
I Have an DHCP Server in 192.168.0.254, than I can use dhcp.
The problems, When I try use DHCP:
Ifconfg eth0 DHCP
This command delay and return an Error.
If Itry configure manually, like
Ifconfg eth0 192.168.0.117 (this OK)
Ifconfg eth0 netmask 255.255.255.0 (this OK)
Ifconfg eth0 broadcast 192.168.0.254 (here the 254 is changed to 255 that is broadcast default, but in my net broad cast or router is in 254)
Other thing how I save this configuration. When I restart I lost all changes�
Well in second interface the problem is same, but I didn�t have DHCP:
IP: 200.44.136.145 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is IP, OK?)
Mask: 255.255.255.192 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig is netmaks , OK?)
Gatway: 200.44.136.129 (In Solaris the name of this is in ifconfig broadcast, OK?)
Primary DNS: 4.2.2.2 (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
Secondary DNS: void (In Solaris I don�t know how configure this)
fconfg eth1 200.44.136.145 (here .44 is changed to 36)
Any one can help-me please?
Thanks

yes. you got it .... eg..
/etc/hostname.le0
/etc/hostname.le1
in here put the hostname ... so at the shell prompt:
# hostname <cr>
should give your hostname.
now, in the hosts file: eg:
# Internet host table
127.0.0.1 localhost
<your ip address> <your hostname> loghost
129.156.89.252 host2
you need to reboot after this.
if you get a 'bad address' error on boot,
you probably have a mismatch of hostnames/ip addresses somewhere in their respective files.
also, see:
# man hosts
# man ifconfig

Ethernet Card Stopped Working (BCM5785M)

My ethernet card stopped functioning about a week ago, at the time I thought my cable had died and did not think to much of it. Then I checked the cable in my desktop computer and it worked fine and was able to connect to my router as well as the interent. To the best of my recolection I did not install any new software that may have cuased the problem, just standard pacman package updates. I ran throught the Networking wiki to try and see if I could find anything wrong but was not able to solve the problem. The odd thing is when I try and connect to my router I obtain and IP address of 192.168.1.128 which to my recolection was a fall back address when an error occurs. I normally will run my laptop on my ethernet card just becuase of shotty wireless router suppled by my ISP. I am able to use my wireless card without problems, other then the substandard performace of the wireless router, so my networking appears to be generally functioning on the computer.

The firmware out of date looked odd to me but seems to be a common thing with the driver at least when I searched the net. I found that message appear several times but without anything posted about my specific problem.

Well thanks for the compliment. this is my first post here but not my first go with linux. I started using linux back when Red Hat was still avalaible under the GNU as a free distro. Then to Fedora in beta, Gentoo. Ubuntu, and now Arch. I have been running arch for about two years and just have not needed to post do to generally finding my answers in the wiki or on a forum post either here or else linuxquestions as well. I guess that leads me to say that this distro is one of the most well documented ones I have ever used. Gentoo would be the only other who comes close but that is needed just with the complexity involved in the install.

I will say though that everything looks perfectly in order. The DHCPCD is good, and it shows that you are connected. I assume you recognize an error as a browser does not connect. But have your tried other web-tools to see if they can connect? A good starting point would be ping. Try each of the following:
ping -c 3 google.com
ping -c 3 8.8.8.8
and post the output here.
I did try a ping on the google site both with the name server as well as the ip while going through the network wiki. I also tried a ping to the router it self without success.

I guess one thing I did forget to mention is that the LEDs on the ethernet card seem to be functioning as well when I plug the cable in.
EDIT:
Interesting Update.
I was able to connect to my router as well as the internet by switching over to a static IP. I made sure to set it as high as possible but it did work. I was browsing around and saw another post on the forums and someone suggested to switch to static IP to help troubleshoot the problem.
Here was the post I found: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143183

Changing the speed of the ethernet card

Referring to this topic I posted earlier: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=568098&tstart=0
I called my ISP, and they could only think of one thing: that there is a conflict between my MacBook's fast ethernet card and my old DSL box (that is capable of only 10 Mb/s).
So, they suggested I try to change the speed of my ethernet card to 10 Mb/s.
The problem is, how do I do it?

I think your ethernet builtin is downgrade compatible, which mean it will run on 10 mbps too without you have to changed the speed.
It is the first time I hear that we should adjust the transfer rate to lower setting.
If your ethernet card max is 10 mbps and you want to use 100 mbps, than you must change the ethernet card or use other external ethernet card, not the other way around.
Good Luck

My Cable Company says my Ethernet Card is Dead

Hi, after a lightning storm my High Speed Internet connection stopped working. The Cable company says my Ethernet Card is dead. But my understanding of my G4 Power Mac architecture is that it has built in 10BaseT support and there is no separate card. If true, might I still have a burned out driver for the Ethernet plug on the back of the computer? Alternately, might lack of Ethernet be caused by corrupted software which could be fixed by re-intalling?

If you dont already have one, get a utility like macTCPing.
Are you also using a router, or are you direct connected to the cable modem?
Are your modem lights flashing slow (1/sec) or fast?
at 1 per second or less, then the modem is not talking to the cable company.
Are you getting a connection light on the modem indicating a valid signal from the Mac?
Reset your modem. (Remove from power, wait a few minutes, reconnect) There may also be a reset button on it.
ping 127.0.0.1
If that succeeds
you have passed local loopback.
check your IP configuration.
ping your own IP address.
if it works, then your ethernet port is probably OK.
if it fails, release and renew your ip address, and try again.
if that works,
ping the modem or your gateway address
if this fails, then reset the modem and try again.
if it fails, the modem is likely the problem
If it works
ping any web site.
if it works, you are set.
if it fails, then ping the name servers for your ISP.
if those fail, then there is an issue with the ISP and its NS, which is beyond your control.
They are hard to find, but there were a couple of companys that made PCI ethernet cards for Mac.

Two Ethernet cards at one time

Hello all
I have a problem someone may be able to help me with.
I wish to use LabVIEW to communicate down an Ethernet card to a test unit
no problem so far ) however I want to connect up to our LAN using Ethernet
and the I.T. boys say we can't have an untested unit on there network.
"OK" I say, we will use two network cards ( one to communicate to the
network and one to test the unit ) This is where my troubles begin.
LabVIEW will not let me use any other Ethernet card but the default card.
Does anybody know a work aroung?? I was thinking maybe using CIN but I will
have to write the code myself and haven't a clue where to start. Any
pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

What's the error that you get? I'd heard that this was in fact possible.

PCI Ethernet card problem.....please help!

Hi everyone, I intalled yesterday a PCI Ethernet card (10/100) on my PowerMac G5.
!0.5 immediately recogenize it and setted it with DHCP mode but internet looks to be slow so I chaged the configuration with static IP but with out any good result.
Internet works but very slooly while the network works great with (10/100 card and fine with integrated gigabit lan).
Someone could help me to understand while the PCI ethernet card doesn't work fine with internet? It's directly connected on a Netgear firewall routrer.....
thanks to everyone

But it could be unsupported the second ethernet on a powermac g5?
No, the fact that it shows up is proof that it works.
What Speeds are you getting with it?...

Also, in System Preferences>Network>Show>Ethernet 2>Ethernet tab>Configue:>Manually, try setting the speed lower & Duplex to Half-Duplex, restart required, test that setting.
