I have a machine with 2 3C905A nic's. eth0 is statically assigned and
always works fine. With 2.6.3 (but not with 2.4.23) eth1 fails to work
regardless of whether I use dhcpcd to my isp or statically assign with
ifconfig.
There were no hardware changes prior to going to 2.6.3 and I can
reboot back into 2.4.23 and everything works again. Please note that
/proc/interrupts for 2.4.23 contains an entry for eth1 but doesn't
when booted to 2.6.3. I've included /proc/interrupts at the bottom of
the email. Below are the errors and debugging info:
running "dhcpcd eth1" gets this error:
Feb 19 21:52:27 megara dhcpcd[863]: dhcpStart: ioctl SIOCGIFHWADDR: No such device
running "ifconfig eth1 {IP} up" gets this error:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: unknown interface: No such device
eth1: unknown interface: No such device
I've tried the 3c59x.c driver as both a module and statically compiled
in the kernel. Problem remains. With a debug level of 3 I get:
