Linux - network driver driver curves? or not working BCM5906M Need help from the community!
There are great HP 6710s laptops in our company, ubuntu up to version 8 was on them, then the management said to try migrating to openSUSE (which we all rested on for a long time, but apparently bad)
Under OpenSuse 11.1 on laptops, network cards just disappeared, but almost all of us were busy with other things, and a number of users unfortunately threw this problem.
As it later turned out, the problem is simply treated with ethtool -K eth0 tso off, and the problem was in the core of tg3, i.e. This is not an OpenSuse problem. The card was stupidly chopped off with large pumping traffic (large - this is about 10 megabytes and more ^ _ ^) We safely migrated back to ubuntu 9.04, but one machine remained without a network card. The card is seen in the system, but it is in the off state, with ifconfig eth0 up it is written like SIOCADDRT: No such device. The most interesting thing is that the network card works fine in Windows (i.e., the hardware is still alive)
Yes, laptops have a “power on” button for network things (wifi, bluetooth), I remember the game of network devices when they are turned off in windows and not turned on back, but there were no windows, and switching on to windows did not help. There is also a suspicion that they could try to change the mac address under linux (unfortunately I can’t prove it), since there was another mac in DHCP for this machine, but I can’t say 100%.
In general, how to make the network card work on this machine under linux? Is it possible for some images to consider the state of the parameters of the ethtool -d eth0 card and transfer this state to another? or even completely rewrite the eeprom from one machine and transfer to another (with the change of mac)?
As a result, the network card does not see the inserted cord in the laptop under linux, but everything works fine in windows.
PS I understand that it is possible - this post is not in this section, if - this is so tell me the correct thematic section.
