The network cable has been check and test on multiple systems. Hello, I'm reviewing this bug 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 and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few weeks if there is no additional information lodged. Hi. I use Fedora 8 with the latest kernel 2.6.24.3 mad this kernel didn't up this network card any more in my asus laptop. With kernel 2.6.23.15 all is ok. It's in some way a regresion. Same situation with my Toshiba Satellite A135-S7404 with Realtek Ethernet. # lspci | grep -i real 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01) Can't get the eth0 up during the boot time with kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8 and kernel-2.6.24.3-34.fc8 Switching back to older kernel such as kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 for now. So this is actually a bug in the kernel? I've got the same problem with a MSI 945GCM7 motherboard with Intel 945GC Express Chipset. The only way I could solve this one was to put a PCI Ethernet card on the motherboard and disable the onboard adapter. Yeap ! And my laptop goies to a trash. What for i need laptop without network connectivity ? What a ugly bug, when things was worked very well in kernel 2.6.23.15 ... Agh $%$%$%$. 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 works, using the latest f8 kernel: 2.6.25.9-40.fc8 does not work. F9 didn't work at all for me with the default kernel it ships with either. For me it is fixed. I use the latest kernel for Fedora9 and it is working. This bug might be related or a duplicated of Bug #438046 (F8), Bug #444966 (F9), Bug #449094, and probably others (Bug #446980). In my experience I managed to get the NIC working with: $ rmmod r8169; modprobe r8169 I also noticed that the rtl8111 issued a huge amount of interrupts in only a few seconds after boot (see #444966): $ grep ethp /proc/interrupts 16: 37171129 IO-APIC-fasteoi eth0 In my case, this is still an issue in F9 and Rawhide (F10 alpha). I was seeing this issue as well and had been sticking on the kernel-xen packages instead while it persisted. It appears to be fixed on the following (recent) kernels: 2.6.26.5-28.fc8 (Fedora 8 64bit) 2.6.27-0.352.rc7.git1.fc10.x86_64 (Fedora 10 Beta LiveCD 64bit) |
Description of problem: Realtek RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller is unable to receive an IP address of a DHCP server, also setting an IP address manually works fine but when trying to communicate with another IP the address is reported as "Destination unreachable".
