Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 02 Oct 2003 13:22:21 -0600 From: reg@dwf.com Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org OK, Im trying to run 2.6.0-test6 on top of RH9. I have progress in some areas but not others. NETWORKING. is a nogo. If I compile the driver 3c59x as a module, it gets loaded, but with the driver in the kernel or as a module, I get the messages in the messages file (during boot) or when I do a ./network start from /etc/rc.d/init.d --- [root@orion init.d]# ./network* restart Shutting down interface eth0: [ OK ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] Setting network parameters: [ OK ] Bringing up loopback interface: arping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol Error, some other host already uses address 127.0.0.1. [FAILED] Bringing up interface eth0: arping: socket: Address family not supported by protocol Error, some other host already uses address 204.134.2.19. [FAILED] --- Thats the right address for the ethernet card, and NOTHING else is using it... So what do I need to do? Ill assume that some config file or script needs to be modified, but what/where. At the same time I see: --- [root@orion init.d]# /sbin/ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:02:6E:B2:1A UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:57 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:3420 (3.3 Kb) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xb800 lo Link encap:Local Loopback UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) --- Confused. -- Reg.Clemens reg@dwf.com
