failed network stuff
Greetings,
I seem to have broken my ethernet networking on my Vaio Z505S running
Debian kernal version 2.2.10
It was working fine including ethernet networking, and I had taken it
home and got ppp working fine
using a modem. Recently I recompiled the kernel (to turn sound support
off). I mention this because the
failure on networking could quite possibly be do to my recompile of the kernel.
Today I brought the computer back into work and I cannot get the eth0 to
work. Here are some
dmesg errors (copied by hand by walking back and forth between the Vaio
and a networked computer):
************
The PCI BIOS has not enabled this device! Updating PCI command 0013->0017
eth0: Invalid EEPROM checksum 0xffc0, check settigs before activating
this device!
eth0: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet at 0xfcc0, FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, IRQ9.
Receiver lock-up bug exists--enabling work around
Board assembly ffffff-255, Physical conectors present: RJ45 BNC AUI MII
Primary interface chip unknown-15 PHY #31
Secondary interface chip i82555
Self test failed, status ffffffff:
Failure to initialize the i82557.
Verify that the card is a bus-master capable slot.
*************
After boot one gets the repeating error
*********
eth0: Transmit timed out: Status ffff ffff at 0/15 command 0001a000.
eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter....

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
