Help me Ethernet card message

I have a Realtek Ethernet Message when I start my computer up
It gives me a boot agent thing Hold shift+F10 to configure (I dont know how to configure it) if I dont configure
it does some type of scanning thing Im not quite sure what.
Then it all leads to PX-E53 - No boot file name recieved
PXE-M0F Existing..... Should I just roll back the driver for the ethernet card it I can?
Athlon 64Bit Processor
FX5600Se 256mb
512 memory
Sound Blaster Audigy2.ZS 7.1
Windows XP Home
120 Gig Standard disk drive
TURBO X-DREAMER CASE, 480WATT POWER SUPPLY W/ WINDOW & LCD Temperature Display

This started happening to me too when I upgraded to BIOS 1.2
I disabled the network boot in the BIOS setup, however it still gives a short notice that it's loading the option, but n ot waiting for a network boot. Total delay is a few seconds
However, if you use bios 1.2 and the system cant find anything else to boot from, it will still start broadcasting over the network for a bootserver

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:

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:

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.

Help K8n SLI plantinum+ethernet card

hello i just put in a ethernet card in my mobo but know after some time my pc just drops out and restarts so i cheked the manual and read that the orange PCI slot (3) is the communication slot and i have put it in PCI slot 2... so maybe stupid to ask but do i have to put it in the orange PCI slot 3? and is this the reason that my pc drops out?
thanks flo.

ok i have/has the exact same problem
try disabling your checksum offload for the nforce ethernet driver. it works most of the time for me
either that or use a different network card. I believe it has to do with drivers because it works one momment for me then it doesn't.
to disable your checksum offload
start->control panel->system->hardware->device manager->network adapters->NVIDIA nForce Networking->properties->advanced->checksum offload-> set to disable
hope that helps. If anyone knows of a nForce driver version that is 100% stable or a different fix please let us all know.

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.
- Lspci -v gives the following output for the network card.

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

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.

T22 ethernet card cannot start error code 10

i iust bought this computer trying i have t22 2647 m2u trying to find driver for ethernet card ive tried several drivers from different sights none seem 2 work all say cannot start error code 10 i tryed 3com mini pci card and and intel 10/100 sp mobile combo i have win xp sp 3 anything else you need to know email me sorry if didnt do something right on this im new at this posting

Welcome to the forum!
The problem here is most likely that there is no ethernet card installed, although there is a port in the back, since that's the way machine had left the factory:

But don't worry, you can get a combo modem/LAN card for a few bucks nowadays.
Hope this helps.

[solved]PCMCIA wired ethernet card issues

I have a Trendnet TE100-PCBUSR ethernet card plugged in to the PCMCIA socket on my dell laptop. I am trying to get it to connect through DHCP so that I can use pacman to install the programs I need, at the moment I only have the base packages. Google reveals to me that the ethernet card is a cardbus clone, and that it is supported by the tulip driver.
I installed arch by booting the cd and doing an ftp-based installation with the very same pcmcia ethernet card. Unfortunately after the installation I appear to not be connected to my network when my computer boots. To me, this says that I have simple configuration problems.
When I was running the installation, I got the card to work by doing these commands:
modprobe yenta_socket
modprobe tulip
the installer also advised that I run cardmgr, which told me there was no driver in /proc/devices, this warning didnt prevent the network from connecting to the ftp and downloading though. After running the modprobe commands I was able to establish a connection by using the menu in the installer.
My question is, how does the connection I made while running the installer translate into config files that can connect while booting? I am also wondering about that cardmgr error, is this something I should be worrying about?
I am looking forward to getting pacman working so that I can finaly have a linux that is bloat-free, containing only the stuff that I actually use. Even slackware handled configuring this card for me, so doing this by hand is new terriroty for me, when the system boots the card lights up like it did when I ran the modprobe commands, but I can't ping anything and pacman cannot download any packages.
You guys have already helped me alot at the IRC channel by helping with installing whenever I got stuck on some things. I imagine this is a simple issue that is documented somewhere, but I have not yet found this document and have been sitting on this problem for 2 days now. I would appreciate any clues you all could give me.

A little more info about my system, lshwd is detecting a built-in ethernet card that God decided to kill with a lighning bolt a couple years ago, the rest of the system still functions normally, my cable modem suffered the most from the strike and ended up getting replaced, but replacing an ethernet card built into this laptop is not possible because it is part of the main board, sigh.
I had a hell of a time transfering this data over, couldn't get the floppy to work so I installed pine and configured it to use my ISP email account, I royally messed up that config but strangely enough it still worked, the email came from [email protected], and I didnt have to login for it to work, which is lucky because I couldn't set up pine to do all that in the limited time I have with my machine.
Are you guys noticing a pattern yet? I can't configure very well, but I really hope to get better at it!
I also noticed that cardctl was telling me that my ethernet card is a cardbus fast ethernet, does that mean that I shouldnt be trying to use pcmcia-cs for this but use hotplug instead? lshwd also identified my ethernet card as something else, which I imagine is a card that my card is a clone of, since it appears to be working anyway.
I'm looking forward to your suggestions, any hints on configuring in general would be appreciated as well since I'm obviously having some bad luck with it I'll worry about floppy and email problems later.
PS: dhclient requires no parameters to connect, and I will have to give you my ifconfig info the next time I get a chance to use that computer.

Win XP does not detect onboard ethernet card

Hi,
i have bought a used T41 (2373-tg5) and installed XP Pro SP3.
I have installed all the drivers and everything is working fine. The only problem i have, is the fact, that XP does not detect my onboard 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN card. It does not show up in the device manager and manually searching for new hardware is to no use.
I have also looked at the BIOS config, the onboard ethernet card is listed as being "enabled". I am sure, there was a device marked with a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager named "ethernet adapter" once. I am not sure, wether this was the WLAN card, i have successfully installed a driver for...it is completely gone now though...
Is this some weird XP thing? I thought, i had read something like this once, but cannot remember.

cnhoff, wilkommen im Forum,
when you enter BIOS the MAC address of the internal LAN card should be shown at the bottom, is it showing a number or is it all zeros? All zeros means that there is no LAN installed which would mean in your case a new mainboard or using a pcmcia LAN card.
Grüße

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Migrating assistant help! Ethernet

Please someone help me. I have a late 2007 Macbook Pro and just bought a 2011 Macbook Pro. Both have snow leopard and Im attempting to migrate through an ethernet cord. Is there ANYTHING that I need to do? I've plugged in the ethernet cord, turned off airport of my old mac and told my new mac that Im doing it through ethernet. I get to where It is preparing the information and then it comes up "failed to connect to network" What am I doing wrong? I did try to connect wirelessly before I went out and got the ethernet card. I shared my internet connect. I am out of things to do. Any ideas? Thank you

So the ethernet wont work? I just bought the cord for this purpose only...Walmart didnt have firewire cords well that makes me sad...
Thanks
It shouldn't! Return the cord to Walmart, get your money back and go to BestBuy. They have firewire cords. You can even call them to make sure they have them in stock.

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.
