 |
|
Hi,
I encountered a strange problem after an emerge gentoo-sources (2.6.13) :
ifconfig : | Code: | | Invalid Mac address detected: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff |
on eth1 !!!
No problem with eth0. I tried the nvnet driver from nvidia but same problem !
Everything works fine with 2.6.12 kernel.
My config. :
K8N Neo2 Platinum, 1 LAN supports 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet by Marvell 88E1111 (forcedeth driver) + 1 LAN supports 10/100/1000 Fast Ethernet by Realtek 8110S (r8169 driver).
Any idea ? |

Try a BIOS update. I have a Tyan K8WE, and dmesg told me the same thing. A BIOS update fixed it.
Luck! |

Good idea but... I have already the last BIOS from MSI (version 1.A, date 2005-8-16)  |

sorry, this may be useless but your ff:ff:ff*:ff isn't it an IPv6 address?
do you still have IPv4 address, netmask and so on well configured? |

Then MSI screwed up with their BIOS settings. It happens, e.g. Tyan had to release a beta BIOS for the K8WE just to fix the very same problem in their previous version  Dmesg actually shows the results of the kernel's interactions with the BIOS. |

I'm having exactly the same problem with my shuttle sn25p.
Kernel 2.6.12-* is working fine, kernel 2.6.13-gentoo is showing:
| Quote: | | Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-XX-XX-XX-00-00-XX-XX-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 |
There are a little too many groups in that address.
haven't tried the nvnet driver yet.
there is no newer bios yet.
[edit]
tried the nvnet, no difference.

I learned during my time with gentoo that it is not a wise idea to change the kernel as soon as it comes out. When i changed from the 2.6.11.x to a 2.6.12.x kernel i wasn't able to get alsa-1.0.9b working altho it worked like a charm on the old 2.6.11-kernel. Another funny thing i remarked after the kernel upgrade was, that i when i started my wifi-card it wouldn't shut-down or reboot any more it just hang while trying to shutdown kde (btw. this was fixed and works again now...) but still it's strange that it worked with the old kernel without any problem...
So i just stick to the kernel i have installed for a while before i switch to a new kernel...
Maybe a lil off-topic but still it might be helpful... |

I have an SN25P, no such problems here. Running 2.6.13-archck5 which is pretty close to vanilla except for the scheduler. |
