Description Eric Princen 2004-05-14 20:55:54 UTC

Description of problem:
If I connect to my network with a static IP (dhcp doesn't work because
of the problem,) I can use tcpdump -n to see traffic on the network,
but no matter what I do, my laptop doesn't actually transmit anything.
This is a STOCK Fedora 1 installation on an eMachines M6809 (athlon
64, but using the i386 FCore 1,) using the eth0 adapter which is a VIA
VT6102 [Rhine-II] rev 74. The unit also has Broadcom 802.11g
(BCM94306) rev 3 built in, and I've tried using it with ndiswrapper
with limited success (no network traffic at all, but driver
communications/parameter setting.)

I'm more than happy to try stuff out and try Core 2 if I can get a
copy soon. I'm almost completely booked from next monday until the
second weekend in June. I'd like to have functioning networking by then.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.22-1.2115

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start laptop
2. ifup eth0
3. tcpdump -n
4. ping 192.168.1.1 (gateway) in new console
    

Actual Results:  All I see that references my laptop is an occasional
arp request for 192.168.1.1. There are never any replies.

Expected Results:  The pings would show up on tcpdump. At minimum, my
arp requests would get responses.

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/
