10.3 | If connection drops, check for message NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out. In that case, disable TCP segmentation offloading by running ethtool --offload eth0 tso off or adding -K iface tso off to ETHTOOL_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 . Check with ethtool --show-offload eth0 .

10.2 | This is the NVIDIA NForce 4 integrated NIC. It is NOT detected by hot plug. makes use of the FORCEDETH driver. There is a bug in bios that stops the driver loading. You need to add a line into /etc/modprobe.conf "options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0" then in yast specify an external ethernet card |

10.2 | This is the NVIDIA NForce 4 integrated NIC. It is detected and configured by yast and works until shutdown, but driver does not load on reboot. Add "forcedeth" to the list of modules in the "MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=" line in the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file. Observed on ASUS A8N-VM CSM. |

10.2 | Net install works, but not PXE booting. You can actually do a completely net install by PXE booting from any nic, even if the kernel doesn't support that nic, and once booted, the installer will find the usb nic and use that for everything else. AX88772 driver support in kernel 2.6.14 and later, so this may work on SUSE 10.1 http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/USB_NET_AX8817X.html "This driver should work with at least the following devices: * Aten UC210T * ASIX AX88172 * Billionton Systems, USB2AR * Buffalo LUA-U2-KTX * Corega FEther USB2-TX * D-Link DUB-E100 * Hawking UF200 * Linksys USB200M * Netgear FA120 * Sitecom LN-029 * Intellinet USB 2.0 Ethernet * ST Lab USB 2.0 Ethernet * TrendNet TU2-ET100" |
