Hi Brad,
the support for MCP79 will be present in upcoming RHEL 5.4.
Please check some testing kernels available at
http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5/150.el5/
and inform me if it solves your problem.

Comment 2 Brad Lhotsky 2009-05-27 17:33:59 UTC

The above kernels fixed the MCP79 NIC support. However, the mini's also have an "Agere Systems FW643 PCI Express1394b" FireWire 800 bridge.  This kernel does not support it.  Do you want me to open another ticket for that?

Comment 3 Ivan Vecera 2009-06-04 13:33:54 UTC

Yes, you can open another ticket for it. This issue I'm closing now.
