Description Jonathan Halter 2007-01-02 22:04:40 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Description of problem:
This does not seem to be specific to a particular kernel version, just the architecture (ppc).

On a ppc Mac mini, if I plug in a DLink DUB-E100 (HW Rev. B1) into it, it is recognized by the system. I then try to bring it up (ifup eth1), it is unable to obtain an IP address via DHCP. If I manually assign a static IP to it, it refuses to transmit any packets.

However, on an intel Mac mini, built with essentially the same configuration and updated to the same kernel revision, 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6, I plug the very same DUB-E100 adapter into it, bring it up, and he happily retrieves an IP address, and functions as expected. This is why I highly suspect the issue is specific to the ppc architecture.

2. plug in DUB-E100 usb ethernet adapter
3. try to configure / bring up ethX

Comment 1 Jon Stanley 2008-01-08 01:50:54 UTC
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state)

Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt
to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer
maintained.

Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently
Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no further information lodged.

Thanks for using Fedora!

Comment 2 Jon Stanley 2008-02-08 04:29:04 UTC
Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA,
since no information has been lodged for over 30 days.

Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data,
and thanks for filing the original report!
