Right before this the network driver is configured (and yes, its in the
kernel ... it is not working most of the time, but sometime it is, and =
some
days ago it was the other way ... working most of the time, just =
sometimes
problems).
Network cards are Intel EEPro100, but we have a lot more of these (also =
with
diskless clients, same configuration/kernel), and the problem is =
happening
in just this one location ...
The 3 Lines before the errors:
Sending BOOTP requests . OK
IP-Config: Got BOOTP answer from 192.168.0.235, my adress is =
192.168.0.87
IP-Config: Complete:
(lots of ip adresses, all look OK).
Regards,
Marco

Hmm, maybe you should fix this first ! What do you mean by "not working":
- sometimes it doesn't provide a link at boot time and you have to reboot
and eventually it will get past the point and afterwards eveything works
fine or
- it boots fine and there are intermitent problems afterwards or
- something else ?

IIRC, there are different revisions of the cards, some of them having
some problems... so it's not sufficient to have another one working well !

Um, the link did work ! Can you try to ping it from the server ? That
should show if the link is down. Another (better) possibility would be to
turn on debugging in the network driver (change in source and recompile or
pass it on the kernel command line), but it depends on the driver that
you're using. F.e. for Donald Becker's drivers you can use debug level 2
or 3 to get media related information without getting too much
uninteresting (for this problem) stuff.
Another unrelated suggestion: can you make sure that you're not running
any kind of firewall (ipchains/iptables) on the server that could block
the communication ?
