[ale] nc100 problems

[John Wells]

Yup...looks like the card is bad.  I bought two. Opened the other one and
popped it in and lights instantly came on...


Thanks!

John

driver.

&gt; I can cat /proc/pci and see the cards (also lspci -v).  It's up,
configured
&gt; on the same net and subnet as my private network.  However, no lights
on the
&gt; card and I can't ping anything (get &quot;Destination Host
Unreachable&quot; errors).
&gt; I think it might have something to do with my BIOS settings, but it
seems
&gt; strange that I could see it in /proc/pci if it were.

No lights on the card probably indicates a hardware
problem. Check that the card is seated properly.
I had virtually identical symptoms a couple days ago
with a DLink card that wasn't pushed all the way
into the PCI slot - the card was detected, but
wouldn't talk, and the link light would not come
on.
