[ale] nc100 problems

[John Wells]

Hmmm...

This has got me worried.  Went to Microcenter and exchanged.  Came back and
dropped the new card in....no lights.  Dropped the card that had lights at
one time in....no lights anymore.


Dropped the card in another, albeit unstable machine....no lights.  Is it
possible the first machine was somehow damaging these cards?

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.
