DL1000 / Debian Lenny 64 - NIC Problem

Jonathan Morrison — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:21:23 GMT

Hi,

A clean Lenny 64 install but I'm having trouble getting the NIC to behave.

ifconfig all set, lspci details card as....
lspci | grep Ethernet output ......
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 10c9 (rev 01)
05:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 10c9 (rev 01)

and
only lines in dmesg | grep eth0 .......

[ 9.266589] igb 0000:05:00.0: eth0: (PCIe:2.5Gb/s:Width x4) 00:24:81:e1:4e:fc
[ 9.266589] igb 0000:05:00.0: eth0: PBA No: ffffff-0ff

Do I need updated drivers...?

Shalom,

You might try updated drivers.

You might also boot the system with a hardware diganostic or the nvram based diagnostics and make sure the NIC cards are working correctly.

Shalom friend,

What drivers do you suggest?

How does one perform the hardware diagnostic / nvram disgnostic?

tcpdump from another machine picks up the mac address of the DL1000 unit...

Thanks,

Jonathan.

I continue to struggle with this.

I've tried Squeeze (testing) and still run into the same trouble, although this time the NIC is
identified as Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network Connection.

I may have to try another OS if I can't resolve this soon.

What exactly is the problem you are having? The dmesg strings don't look bad, per se.

Are you getting tracebacks? Is dhcp not responding? Does manually configuring it work? etc..
