FC3 & Acer Aspire 3002

[karunesh]

Hi Folks.

Recenlty I purchased Acer Aspire 3002 notebook with AMD Sempron 2800+ Processor . I have installed FC3 & XP Professional (Dual Boot) on that, now everything works fine under Win XP. But when I switch to FC3, I can not connect to my network(LAN).

Following is my eth0 setting.
IP: 192.168.1.150
SM: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.1.1.

I can ping successfully to eth0, that is 192.168.1.150, but when I try to ping my gateway ip address, I get "Destination Host Unreachable" from 192.168.1.150. I am not able to understand why this is happening, initially I suspected the cable, but the same cable working fine on XP. I also tried to connect one other PC directly with my notebook using "ethernet cross cable" back-2-back, but still no success.I checked everything whatever I can, but not able to get any clue for not working.

Please help !.

Try putting this into the terminal............

/tftpboot/

Try setting it to pboot or tftp to automatically detect the ip address.

Hi,

From my own experience with suse 10.0 on an aspire 3002:

concerning the network interface card problem, this is probably due to the buggy acpi problem.

One solution is to simply turn off acpi in your bootoptions:

acpi=off

Off course, the tradeoff is that you can't use acpi.

A better, more complicated solution is to recompile the acpi.
