Hello friends and neighbors, I'm wondering is anyone
else has ever "lost" a NIC. I have two identical
d-links on a 4.4 stable box, here is the dmesg for the
one that hung in there:
rl0: <D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100BaseTX> port
0xa400-0xa4ff mem 0xea000000-0xea0000ff irq 11 at
device 11.0 on pci0
Pretty standard. The other one was there yesterday as
rl1. But I'm trying to configure the box as an IDS so
I slapped a 0.0.0.0 IP address on it and, when that
didn't work, I tried 1.1.1.1 (thinking 0.0.0.0 was
illegal and 1.1.1.1 was just fake). Now in rc.conf I
see:
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Thu Jan 31
17:56:08 2002
ifconfig_rl1="inet 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
but if I uncomment the line i get errors since the
machine can no longer find the interface. I tried to
plumb/create it and some other ifconfig tom foolery
but no good. /stand/sysinstall can't see it either.
Does anyone know how to get my poor lost dlink back?
And is there a way to set an interface to sniff with
no IP or with an IP that isn't reachable on your
network?
Thanx for anything...
