Hello everyone,
Last week I started last to use SUSE 11 installed on a PC used for an old project.
I have a problem with the network card (Intel PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter).
Connecting the ethernet cable to a Beckhoff module (EK1100), the light on the PC-Port lights up, while nothing happens on the module.
This happens even if connected to a switch instead of the Beckhoff module.
The Beckhoff module has been tested with an another PC and it works.
I have already done several tests, but without positive results:
- changed the cable
- changed network card slot in the PCI
- reinstalled the network card driver (e1000)
Someone with more experience knows by chance what could be the problem?
Thanks to anyone who decides to help me! :)
If you require SLED/SLES support (as opposed to openSUSE), please post here instead:

Sorry I mean openSUSE 11 (i586) - Version 11.0
Ok, well that’s a very old version - it went EOL July 26th, 2010! Any particular reason for not using a currently supported version?
What is reported when you connect the ethernet cable?
/usr/sbin/ethtool eth0
It is a system composed of three computers: openSUSE to receive data from Beckhoff, xPC target running MATLAB and a Host PC with Windows.
Update openSUSE means changes all the setup and I’m trying to avoid it.
I hope to find another way.
Settings for eth2:
Supported ports: TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full
Port: MII
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: g
Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
Link detected: yes
The ethtool output shows the ethernet link is up and connected at 100Mb/s FD. I know nothing about the hardware you’ve connected it to, but assuming layer 3 connectivity is required to reach the device, have you undertaken the appropriate IP address configuration?
What does the following report?
/sbin/ifconfig
Looking further into this, I now relaise that the EtherCAT protocol is in use here, and requires a specialised driver stack (including ethercat.ko module) for operation. It’s well beyond my experience/knowledge…

I’m not in a position to help further with this, (and I doubt most others here would be able to assist meaningfully either).

Hi
So from your using openSUSE 11…
So, I’m interested in the system you tested on and it worked as to what
OS and kernel release and well as the kernel module.
Can you provide this information?
Way back then 11.x was around I did build some of the ethercat modules
for a forum user from memory and also upstreamed the patches.
Can you post the output from the openSUSE 11 system;
uname -a
