upgrade broke network,

yesterday after an update I lost my network, all I get is a "eth0 timeout" ( using forcedeth ) however my win & bsd boxes connect fine, as do several diff live cd's .... network was perfectly fine till this latest fiasco. After using Arch since 0.6 and putting up with the frequent glitches and breaks this is the last one. I've manually tried starting the network and same thing, anyone have an idea ?  this also happens after a new install from either the 0.7 or 8 cd's, the connection is fine off the discs but dead after reboot

Re: upgrade broke network,

Hard to say without more info ( type of NIC, static ip/dhcp, kernel version, etc. ) but i would first look for errors or related messages in :
dmesg output
/var/log/messages.log
/var/log/errors.log
/var/log/kernel.log

I would also try to remove then reload the nic module...I've seen it where there were buggy nic drivers/modules that just didn't want to load properly on boot, but if they were (re)loaded after boot, and the network then restarted they worked perfectly until the next restart.

Re: upgrade broke network,

Hi all,

I have exactly the same problem after my last upgrade. The upgrade included kernel 2.6.21, so maybe it's the fault of the kernel/modules. The computer is IBM Thinkpad T42, which has e1000 wired network and ipw2200 wireless network which I generally configure by networkmanager, but now networkmanager is unable to find any interfaces. Strangely, ifconfig shows both of them and I can run dhcpcd eth0 without any errors, but pinging something gives me "Destination Port Unreachable".

I tried to roll back to the older 2.6.20 kernel, but this did not help.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Jan

Re: upgrade broke network,

The problem is the latest networkmanager (0.6.5) not the kernel. I had to downgrade to 0.6.4 and everything worked again. There is a bug report on this in flyspray:
