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![/color]
Hello Jam_hir0,
Welcome to the SUSE forums.
When the light on the Ethernet adapter lights up it is telling you that
you have a good connection to a device at the other end but to
communicate with the device you need more.
I think this is the device to which you are referring:

It is very likely that you need a special driver to make this work and
that driver has to be compatible with the specific version of your SLES
system.
I would suggest you contact Beckhoff to find out what drivers you might
need:

In the mean time, should anyone reading your post be familiar with this
piece of hardware, please provide additional about your system.
