Bug 183085

I've found a work-around, but I wouldn't call it a solution.

I have an ADSL connection which I bring up as required. It uses my ethernet
connection eth0, which I also bring up as required; it isn't activated
automatically at boot-up.

I worked around my problem by having eth0 activate automatically at boot-up.
There's a one-minute wait as I see "Determining IP information for eth0", but
then I can later activate my ADSL connection.

This was much easier to handle in Fedora 4. Activating my ADSL connectiom after
boot-up did whatever was necessary to activate my ethernet connection.

Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer
test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug
reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if
you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest
development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience.

[This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding
myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this
and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]

This is on Fedora 8 LIVE, i created a PPoE connection, managed to browse on the 
first time, then when i came the next day, i can no longer access my xdsl 
connection, attached is the dump: ** (PLEASE HELP!  i do not know much about 
Linux since this is my first time using this system) **.
