Please attach the results of running "sysreport" on the box in question. Please run sysreport w/ the card in place, running the older kernel if necessary. Thanks! Created attachment 113757 [details]
sysreport from affected laptop booted to 2.6.10-1.770
Is it possible for you to try some other PCMCIA/CardBus network cards on this box? If so, do the other cards work? Or is this possibly a more general PCMCIA problem? FWIW, I don't think there have been any changes to the network driver in question. Created attachment 114495 [details]
debug log file from the boot of 2.6.10 and 2.6.11 kernels
Got a slightly different result on a different laptop that has an integrated ethernet controller. The 2.6.10-1.770 version works ok, the 2.6.11-1.14 does not. I will include the debug file from the boots. I will try to dig up a wireless card, the only one I have is the Cisco Aironet (Atheros based) that needs the madwifi driver. The same thing applies to 2.6.11-1.27 FWIW, there are relatively few changes to the driver between kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3 and kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3. Those changes that are there are mostly just maintenance/janitor stuff accounting for changes in other kernel components. I'll attach a diff below... Created attachment 115357 [details]

An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you. It is still there with the FC3 new kernel. It does not seem to be a problem with FC4 and a pcmcia wireless card (cisco aironet atheros based). The wireless card is a problem on the fc3 system. Sounds like things are working in FC4... |
