Description C Duvall 2003-10-13 22:28:04 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925

Description of problem:
When I boot, eth0 never successfully comes up. It is configured, I'll attach
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 in a minute. If I run dhclient at the
command line after boot, it sets up eth0 as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.14-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot

Actual Results:  Watch eth0 fail to init

Expected Results:  eth0 should pull an IP over DHCP

Additional info:

Relevant line from boot.log: Oct 13 18:20:44 hermit ifup:  failed; no link
present.  Check cable?

What driver?
Comment 3 C Duvall 2003-10-14 12:03:52 UTC 
The driver module is 3c59x.
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2003-10-14 13:58:35 UTC 
The driver appears to not be reporting link status correctly.
Comment 5 Bugzilla owner 2004-09-30 15:41:35 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
