BAMT 0.5 sometimes lost network, i don't know why. 0.4 bamt works well, but i can't find fixes for it

Good to know some are having the same problem.
I have 5 completely different board that have this same problem,
I found out it would often happen exactly after 10hrs.

try my solution and let me know your result.

i've done it 20 times it always works on 0.5c:

Sticky this!

Better yet, post it in the 0.5 thread where it belongs. Even better, post the actual information instead of a link to some other site.

It basically just boils down the network-manager package. This software has a bug that seems to effect some systems, just google around and you'll find lots of ubuntu users with the exact same issue. I didn't find any clear explanations or what the proper fix is in a quick search. It does seem to be limited to certain network cards.

rather than removing the network manager entirely (as suggested by the external link), if someone finds an actual fix that would be preferable.
removing the network manager will remove the issue, but it will take away your ability to configure wireless networks (and wired) using the easy gui, so you'll have to edit the network config files by hand. not a big deal if you know how to do that, but not an ideal "fix" in any case.

Thank you, im fairly sure this was the issue I was struggling with a page or so back in this thread. It would seem like a reinstall of bamt cleared the problem for some time, had a stable 30+h after it, so this (in my limited understanding) could perhaps be something accumulating on the usb-drive over time ?

Interesting - so the problem is that it does lose network and of course this fix is to force it to have a static IP address.
DHCP of course isn't happy when the network goes away when it's refreshing the lease (so you will also find the timing of the problem is related to a multiple of the lease time of your DHCP server)
But you should also still find that during mining you will have some issues every so often when the network itself fails (whatever is causing the problem) but of course they should be minor compared to losing network permanently

I have an issue like this with one of my boards. Still not sure what to do about it. Sometimes the connection goes dead, I plug in a monitor and find eth0 disconnected. A simple mouse click reconnects it.

Yes, i have this issue also

It would be nice if I could get it to auto reconnect or something. Ive done a bit of searching on other forums and haven't got a solution yet. Perhaps a USB to ethernet adapter will 'fix' it? Perhaps I should just get a new board... Its weird.

Hello, i have 30 rigs and want to monitor them thru mgpumon, but my screen allows me to see only first nine numbers. How can i see all of them?

Send me 21 of your rigs, then you can see all 9 you have.
