Intel Pro/100 Card

[Krishna Prasad]

I have installed Teaming on SuSE 7.2.7 with the Intel Pro/100 Cards.

It works fine when I supply a IP address in the /etc/rc.config file.....but

I was trying to dhcpclient. This option was never able to work. Our network team would like us dhcp to get our IP's when first getting our IP's.

Does DCHP work with Teaming on these cards for Linux?

Hi Ron,

there is freqently updates of the e100 driver from Intel. Maybe its worth trying a new driver ?

I'm not familiar with teaming. Is it the same as bonding ?

Hi

Driver for Intel Pro/100 is either eepro100 or e100.

If you want to do "Network teaming" you have 2 choice.

1) use e100 and ANS from www.intel.com

2) use either e100 or eepro100 and bonding driver.

Bonding driver is in official linux kernel. I am not sure about your SuSE 7.2.7.
Its driver name is bond.
Check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/binding.txt for more detail setting.

Good luck
