From: Mark Jaffe To: Message-ID: Mime-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Hi, listas! I am engaged in a crusade to get a PowerMac 8500 with dual-604e card online running YellowDog 2.0. I have the 2.4.10-B0a SMP kernel installed, and am continually thwarted getting it into production due to faulty networking. The built-in networking refuses to work properly under Linux. I have no problems with MacOS, it operates with either a static IP (at the Co-Lo) or under DHCP (from an AirPort base station in the home office.) But in Linux, DHCP gets an IP but will not make any connection, and with the static IP at the Co-Lo it will perform for a few hours then become unreachable. Has this issue ever been seen? Is there any way to diagnose what is going on and resolve this problem?
