Description David Novakovic 2005-03-10 23:12:35 UTC 
i can emerge whatever i want from the livecd environment, and my network card works fine with the forcedeth drivers. when i reboot into my own environment forcedeth loads fine and eth0 gets a dhcp adress fine..... but as soon as i try to emerge something the network card dies. someone else also had the problem but couldnt figure out why.... he was also using amd64 at the time.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.modprobe forcedeth
2.emerge xorg-x11
3.

Actual Results:  
network card stops working part way into download. can not restart eth0 without
a reboot

Expected Results:  
should have kept downloading

what kernel version are you using?
Comment 2 David Novakovic 2005-03-20 14:45:56 UTC 
the kernel version was the latest stable amd64, 2.6.9r10 (maybe) 

anyway... i found the problem was happening with both eth0 and eth1...... eth1 was a gigabit realtech, so i doubt the problem was driver related as i initially thought. :\
Comment 3 Carlos Silva (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-20 14:54:01 UTC
