ianw1974 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Is the modem a router? If so, then check and disable ipv6 to see if it resolves your problem. To disable, add this to your /etc/modprobe.conf file: alias net-pf-10 off could be this is why you're experiencing the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qchem Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 If that doesn't help, try checking the contents of /etc/resolv.conf both when the connection is working and when it isn't. You can do that with cat /etc/resolv.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Add some valid DNS addresses in /etc/resolv.conf as root and save the file. Then lock it from a terminal with chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf , still as root. (chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf will unlock the file again). Now test if your internet still dies.

Guest drugo Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 could be a problem of drivers? i download the drivers form asus , but i don't know how install them could be a the cd of mandriva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I think you will have to install these drivers: http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDispl...?dId=107&pId=10 when you've extracted, make sure you typed "su" to get root privileges, and then check out the readme to follow the install. Don't patch the kernel, but choose the install option. I had to do this on a Red Hat installation, but Mandriva worked perfectly fine for me with the same card as you have. I didn't need the drivers for Mandriva, but there's no harm trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 Yes, the kernel driver for some Yukon revisions is not working well (or at all, in some cases). Try installing over it the driver suggested by ianw1974, because this problem was properly remedied only in the 2.6.16.X kernel series.

Guest drugo Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 (edited) ianw1974 i'm a super novice!!! what should i do ? log in like ROOT where can i put the drivers? in a floppy ? does the mandriva read floppy disk formated with windows XP? when you've extracted, make sure you typed "su" to get root privileges, and then check out the readme to follow the install. Don't patch the kernel, but choose the install option. I had to do this on a Red Hat installation, but Mandriva worked perfectly fine for me with the same card as you have.

Guest drugo Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 scarecrow should i install the 3 cds , or only the first is enough? scarecrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 OK, step by step after extracting the drivers: su (enter root password when prompted) ./install.sh (or whatever the script is called from what you extracted) when prompted choose install rather than patch the kernel. And make sure you're sat in the directory where the install script resides, this will be wherever you extracted it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
