This worked correctly with the previous installation? I'm not so
certain that your installation disks were bad as you mentioned in a
previous post, but it's unusual to see this.
Are you set on re-installation? If not, there are a few other things to
try:
1) Check settings on the other end of the connection. Use the mii-tool
or ethtool in the previous email.
2) Check the module parameters (you mentioned it was a PCMCIA card). Cat
out the /etc/modules.conf file and see what if some setting is hard coded.
3) Check the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and post it
(could be a hardcoded entry). (I'm assuming that WhiteBox Linux is the
RedHat equivalent).
4) Check your routing tables with:
route -n
5) And don't forget to check the cable, swap ports on your switch/hub,
reboot the switch, etc.. You've likely done this, but sometimes in my
rush to troubleshoot some things I often miss the obvious.
