Hello,
Running a dell poweredge 1650 with two intel e1000/pro's on redhat 7.3.
We seem to be having a problem with the ethernet cards linking at 100 mbps/FDX
and only working for a few seconds (usually around 30 seconds). There are no
messages in dmesg other than when the module is loaded (Stating that port0 is
up at 100 mbs/FDX). Is this a known issue, and is there a workaround? I can
provide more information if needed.
Thanks,
-Joe Kellner

I have had no problems with the e1000 and the 1650's
They run at 100Mbs and 1000Mbs fine. I have had them
working both with RH7.3 and Debian, and even FreeBSD.
Bad NIC? Bad cable? It going into a switch, a hub? These
things come with two NICs, do both do it?

Scott,
We resolved the issue with a reinstall of Redhat 7.3, and have not had the
issue pop back up again.
