Linux Gurus, please help: configuring ethernet on T22

[gator]

I installed Fiesty on my IBM T22 (2647-AEU) and I am not able to get the ethernet working. I have the Intel 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56K modem.

Output of dmesg:

$ dmesg | grep eth
[ 14.196308] e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xe8120000, irq 11, MAC addr 00:03:47:B7:FD5
[ 66.376000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[ 2223.828000] e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xe8120000, irq 11, MAC addr 00:03:47:B7:FD5
[ 2224.316000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

Can anyone point me how to get this working?

Apart from this error, my installation went really well, absolutely no issues whatsover w.r.t sound or display.

Gator, try booting up a knoppix CD. If networking then works suspect a driver or config problem with Ubuntu.

What HarryC said... and have an Ethernet cable plugged in when you boot the machine.

puzzling: this t22 9EU differs only in processor speed from
yours--love that screen:-) module e100 works fine (debian 3.1)

lspci gives

> Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]

dmesg | grep eth gives

> e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xe8120000, irq 11,\
MAC addr 00:10:A4:82:3C:E4
> eth0: no IPv6 routers present

you get frm dmesg | grep eth
[ 14.196308] e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xe8120000, irq 11,\
MAC addr 00:03:47:B7:FD5
[ 66.376000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

the MAC addrs naturally differ, but what is this ADDRCONF?
Have you tried "ifup eth0" or "ifconfig eth0 up"?

you shouldn't require to have an ethernet cable plugged in.
This machine runs dhclient at boot time regardless.

keep us posted
