network driver corruption? Interface disappeared

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hello,
I've got a very unusual network interface issue on centos5. I'm setting up a router box, with two network interface cards, the first gets it's information from a dhcp server, the second is statically configured. I have no idea what happened, but yesterday the internal interface eth1 stopped showing up. An ifconfig eth1 showed the interface not found, but an ifconfig -a shows a strange __tmp interface. Below is some output:

If i reboot the box that tmp long number changes, that made me think that the eth1 file was in the middle of an editing session when a crash occurred, i however can not find a tmp file for a crashed editor session. I've tried removing the nic and putting it in another box, and it worked. I am open to suggestions.
Thanks.
Dave.
