Description Anne 2008-04-13 14:25:04 UTC

Description of problem:
Since Friday's update (11th Apr.) at bootup the network icon on the tray shows
no connection.  ifconfig returns all that's expected.  ping says 'Network is
unreachable.  'network-service-restart' shuts down, and bringing up eth0 causes
a longish delay, but after that everything works.  The icon still says 'no
network connection'

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


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No network activity possible without restarting the network.

Expected results:
Network active from bootup.

Comment 1 Anne 2008-04-14 15:26:58 UTC

The pause appears to be around 6 seconds.  

I should have added that the network uses static IP.

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2008-04-14 16:03:04 UTC

What items are in the left-click dropdown menu of the NM applet?

What's the output of /usr/bin/nm-tool?

Comment 3 Anne 2008-04-16 15:15:58 UTC

NM applet -
Enable Networking (checked)
Edit Connections (everything greyed out)

/usr/bin/nm-tool

NetworkManager Tool

The connection keeps dropping out, although it is active at the moment.

Comment 4 Anne 2008-04-24 16:12:55 UTC

On starting the box this morning I discovered that it automatically connected. 
This is the first time since the 11th.  Maybe something changed in yesterday's
update?

It will take a little time before I know whether it's totally stable, but it
seems to have only dropped out once in the last couple of hours, a definite
improvement.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 09:22:40 UTC

Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.

Comment 6 Anne 2008-05-21 14:53:14 UTC

Cabled connections appear to work normally now.

Comment 7 John J. McDonough 2008-06-17 13:04:03 UTC

Possibly related -- I noticed that on FC8 as well as FC9, when a static IP is 
specified during install, some network config is static, and some is DHCP even 
though static is specified.  Network does work (sort of) on reboot without 
restarting network if DHCP server is configured to deliver same information as 
specified for static IP.

Comment 8 Anne 2008-06-17 15:42:18 UTC

I confirm that I did set the network to static during install.

Comment 9 Dan Williams 2009-02-20 14:52:58 UTC

Is this still an issue with latest NM and kernel updates?

Comment 10 Anne 2009-02-20 15:35:34 UTC

I think it's safe to say that this is now fixed, thanks

Comment 11 Dan Williams 2009-02-20 16:02:04 UTC

Ok, thanks!
