reassigning to initscripts I have the same prlblem with a thinkpad 770X and an "IBM" Xircom cardbus pcmcia ethernet card. A workaround is to manually run service pcmcia restart then the network come up and works ok. I had this problem way back in RH6 or so and forget exactly what fixes it on boot. It went away in more recent versions of Redhat Linux. It worked in RH8.0, never tried it unther RH9. It has reappeared as an issue in Fedora Core 1. I tried switched the order that pcmcia and network startup at boot time. This gets rid of an error message but fails to resolve the problem. In my case, manually restarting the PCMCIA service actually fixes the problem, too! Essentially a workaround, but for the time being ensuring a working network connection. Thanks!

excerpt from /var/log/messages
My 3com card on my Compaq Presario 1692 has twice dropped out leaving the system hung. This has been since the last kernel (2129). Eventually I have to power cycle the laptop. This laptop is up 24x7. Attached are some items from the syslog. That message dump indicates a kernel driver bug. I have a xircom ether/modem card, and it lives long enough to get an address from dhcp, but after that it can only send, not receive. The simplest solution I've found is 'cardctl eject; cardctl insert'. I have just installed Fedora Core 2 Test 3. Here, everythings works out of the box. So, at least, no issue anymore beyond Fedora Core 1. 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/ |
