We had a network card problem on a standard Redhat 7.1 (2.4.2-2 smp)
machine this morning, solved it by swapping in a different card, but I
dunno why it was "broken" in the first place ....any suggestions on how to
find the cause would be welcome as I want to avoid this in the future....
The card was an eepro, usng eepro100 in modules.conf
the machine could ping itself, and ifconfig showed it's MAC address and ip
address ok
machines on the lan could not ping it, nor could it ping them
"service network start|stop" ran without errors
it had worked without problems until today.
the card worked ok in an NT machine afterwards
/var/log/messages doesn't show anything (at least to this untrained eye)
