Debian Lenny - network interfaces(eth) are in DOWN state
- by pachanga
Folks, I'm facing a very weird problem with one of my production servers(it's Debian Lenny) - after reboot network interfaces(eth0,eth1) are in DOWN state.
Looks like an Intel based networking adapter is installed on the server, lspci lists it as follows:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 10c9 (rev 01)
The kernel driver responsible for this adapter is "igb". I tried "modprobe -r igb && modprobe igb", network interfaces first disappear then appear, but they are in DOWN state again.
What could go wrong? It used to be working just fine. How can this be fixed?
