Hello there.
i have a dell optiplex configured with an extra PCI network card, because i plan to set it up as a gateway / LTSP server, but i have troubles getting the second network card to work. It is recognized during installation (where i can choose the primary network interface)
and doing a
Code:
lshw -class network
after installation shows both network cards, with network 0 being labeled DISABLED. i have tried configuring the other network interface in the /etc/network/interfaces file, but it has failed to work. i have also briefly looked at udev rules, but it seems that it renames the interfaces fine during bootup, as
Code:
dmesg | grep "udev"
shows the following
Code:
[ 1.138307] udev: starting version 160
[ 6.003002] udev: starting version 160
[ 7.237092] udev: renamed network interface eth1 to ethlokal
[ 7.253775] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1
i also noticed a briefly shown "adress collision" error of some sort during boot, but it never showns for long enough for me to read it through.
the network card that is enabled is an Intel 825662EZ 10/100 ethernet controller, and the one that is disabled is a Realtek RTL-8139/8139C+
I am stumped on this one. thanks in advance
