[Voyage-linux] eth0 No link problem

[Andrew Niemantsverdriet]

Also it needs to be a crossover cable. The broadcom NIC may have auto
crossover while the others not.

surprise, I got “no link” over eth0: the Ethernet traffic led of both
Wrap and PC were dead. I said surprisingly because with my laptop and
it’s Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet card all works fine: as soon
as I plug the Ethernet connector the link is up and running at 100Mbit
Full Duplex. I tried to modify the settings of the eth0 interface of
the PC, I set the autonegotiation onor off, I fixed the speed, but
nothing worked, I even tried to play with the wake-on-lan parameter but
it didn’t worked.

try to change the speed while the card is activated I get the “no link”
on the Ethernet, but, if I change that speed while the card is
deactivated, once I activated it again I get the eth0 “link up”.
