Bug 211362

Description of problem:
After using yum to update to the above kernel, my usb ethernet interface is
rendered unworking. It worked flawlessly with the previous (2.6.17-1.2187_FC5)
kernel. I marked this bug "high" as I no longer have network support in this box
with the new kernel (the onboard broadcom - b44 crapped out a while ago).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.18-1.2200

How reproducible:
Every time I try to start the network.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update kernel (change nothing else)
2. Reboot into new kernel
3. During bootup, see that the formerly working usb device which used the usbnet
driver is now not able to acquire a network address.
4. Reverting to previous kernel fixes problem.
  
Actual results:
Linksys USB200M 10/100 Ethernet Adapter *appears* to be working; the lights are
on and flash as if it's trying to send out a dhcp request; no errors show up in
logs or dmesg, other than the fact that it could not acquire a network address -
"check cable."

Expected results:
The network controller actually works as it did in the previous kernel
