Bug Description
I used to be happy with Hoary, although only my Cisco Airo Wifi card worked, wheras my Intel card didn't work at all.
However, I stuck with Wifi which was fine.
I tried Breezy and guess what? NONE of these two interfaces were working, even after trying everything...
* Didn't get IP by DHCP with my Ethernet card (see below)
* Wasn't able to set essid & key with the WiFi card
* Of course I wasn't able to get an IP by DHCP with WiFi
Facts:
IBM R40 (Type 2681)
Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82801BD PRO/100 VE (MOB) Ethernet Controller (rev 83)
Network controller: AIRONET Wireless Communications Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b
No I am back at 5.04, but I can still test networking issues with the 5.10 LIVE, if you have any specific suggestions
For my 5.04, Cisco Ario works fine with the "airo" kernel module, the Ethernet card doesn't work at all ("e100" module is
loaded).
Attachement for trying to get an IP with my Intel card (eth1):

Still nothing changed. Unable to use Ubuntu 5.10 :-(
I am back at 5.04 with my airo card.
Please help!

Can you send lsmod and dmesg output so I can see if you are using the e100 or
eepro100 module?
| markus (mb-spam) wrote : | #4 |
Sorry, currently running hoary :-(
But I can tell you, that I was trying both modules.
Currently (hoary) I am using e100 which works fine alongside airo.
This seems to be a known problem BTW;

Hi Markus,
Thank you for reporting this bug.
Can you please try using the latest Dapper (flight 6 or later) Kernel and packages and see if the problem persists?
Thank you.

Hi!
I just gave it a try. The Cisco Airo works fine now (although the KDE wifi
stuff does not work properly, but this has nothing to do with this
bugreport).
On the other hand, eepro100 does not work for me.
Happy easter,
thank you, Markus!

Hello,
I ran into similar problems myself on IBM X30. I found a workaround though: try booting with irqpoll -option
(e.g. boot: Linux irqpoll)
I filed a bug report about this under the kernel package I'm running (Breezy) (#40294)
Hope this helps!

Can someone please upload as attachments the output of lsmod and dmesg to help debug this issue?
In the future, it would be helpful if the same bug report doesn't report more than one potential bug. In this case, the failure of each network card would be a seperate bu, which allows for distinction between what has been fixed, if one issue is fixed and the other is not :)

I believe I have the same, or similar problem. I'm using an Intel Pro/100 card.
I get an IP with DHCP, but it doesnt seem to set up my routing table correctly. So to some, it would appear that networking doesnt work.
lsmod |grep e100

I got around the problem by using route, and now internet is working:
sudo route add -net 128.193.136.0 netmask 255.255.248.0 dev eth0
sudo route add default gw 128.193.136.1

sorry, forgot to mention that the above is on a clean install of Dapper Drake.

Ok, the above problem would seem to be more an issue of some userspace problem (perhaps in the networking scripts) more so than a kernel problem. Considering, once configured correctly, that it works, then the driver is doing exactly as it is asked.
I am rejecting this against the kernel. Please add a new target for the userspace problem (I suspect it may be ifupdown).

I see the same thing with my Intel Pro/100 PCI ethernet card. I cannot get dhcp
/w ubuntu v5.10.
