Description jameswithers89 2009-06-22 20:17:25 UTC

Description of problem: NetworkManager times out when trying to get its IP address (DHCP) from a Belkin G+ MIMO Router.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.7.1-4.git20090414.fc11.x86_64. Wired Network Hardware: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express.

How reproducible: happens everytime I try 'Wired Network'. Wireless Network works with no problems (Realtek RTL-8185).

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on NetworkManager (on Gnome panel).
2. Click on 'System eth0' (under 'Wired Network').
  
Actual results: (from /var/log/messages)

Expected results: a 'Wired Network' connection.

NetworkManager 'Wired Network' worked fine when I used it to install and update Fedora 11 a few days after it was released.

I'm having precisely the same problem with a ZyXEL P-2602HW-D1A router and an Intel PRO/1000 NIC in my ThinkPad T61.

NetworkManager-0.7.1-8.git20090708.fc11.x86_64

Similarly for me, there was no problem with eth0 when I installed F11---it stopped working sometime after the initial install.

Comment 2 Joel Uckelman 2009-08-12 09:16:54 UTC

The problem went away for me after applying yesterday's updates and rebooting. Weird.

Comment 3 Dan Williams 2009-11-12 01:11:08 UTC

Ok, thanks for updating with the new information.  Weird.  Bug #507351 seems to be the same problem, but with sky2 instead of b44 or e1000.
