Hi Hannes, and thanks for the speedy response :-)
i tried aliasing the interfaces to de4x5, and also adding the ip-address
assignment to the rc script (but the devices aren't found at all, so the
address assignment wouldn't work anyways)
could you let me know what kernel you're running? because apparently
there are some kernels with broken tulip/de4x5 drivers.
i'm running 2.4.14 (i also tried with 2.4.18).
regarding the ip address/netmask/bcast/etc assignment, my setup is
a bit different because i'm running Slackware. these things are then
all defined under /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1, which looks like this:
----snip-snip----
IPADDReth0="1.2.3.4" # eth0 IP
IPADDReth1="1.2.3.5" # eth1 IP
IPADDReth2="1.2.3.6" # eth2 IP
IPADDReth3="1.2.3.7" # eth3 IP
NETMASK="255.255.255.0" # netmask for all (for now)
NETWORK="1.0.0.0" # network for all (for now)
BROADCAST="1.2.3.255" # bcast
# Set up the ethernet card:
echo "Configuring eth0 as ${IPADDReth0}..."
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDReth0} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask
${NETMASK}
echo "Configuring eth1 as ${IPADDReth1}..."
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 ${IPADDReth1} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask
${NETMASK}
echo "Configuring eth2 as ${IPADDReth2}..."
/sbin/ifconfig eth2 ${IPADDReth2} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask
${NETMASK}
echo "Configuring eth3 as ${IPADDReth3}..."
/sbin/ifconfig eth3 ${IPADDReth3} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask
${NETMASK}
----snip-snip----
i've aliased eth0 - eth3 to de4x5 (as per your suggestion) but it still
doesn't work;
when trying to assign an ip address to the interface, it gives me a
' SIOCSIFADDR: No such device ' error.
:-( i guess there's something wrong with the drivers..
could the card be faulty? (i wonder.. because i actually managed to get 2
interfaces out of the 4 to work..
if it were faulty, then only 1 -or none- would work).
any ideas?
thanks for your help,
Vafa.
