RE: USRP2 dies

The ethtool command below appears to have fixed the problem. If this a
common issue for beginners, perhaps it can be added to the FAQ

Thank you for all your help.

This seems very similar I had with the same chipset/dell laptop
(probably the one you saw) – does ethtool -a eth0 say Rx: On ?

If not “ethtool -A eth0 rx on” (as root) fixed the problem for us

I cant remember if this solution was replied to on the mailing list…

Cheers,

The Auto-negotiation is set to auto for eth0, which I believe is the
correct setting. The entire output of ethtool is below.
