onboard NIC works only in one situation?
I have been having the weirdest problem: the NIC that is incorporated into my motherboard has been acting very strangely. I have a Shuttle AK32VN mobo with a VIA chipset. When I plug the NIC directly into the cable modem, I get a new address and am able to work fine. However, when I plug this same NIC into a port on my Linux router, nothing; and when I mean nothing, I mean no hardware-level link LED activity whatsoever. I know the router NIC works fine as I am using it right now (I threw another NIC in this box and it works like a charm).
I was just wondering: has anyone ever run into this before? I'm guessing it's some hardware malfunction.
