what exact kernel was the last known good ? The last known good kernel was 2.4.18-4. This is the kernel included with my RedHat 7.3 distribution. Although I can no longer test it, I am sure that things were working well as recent as kernel 2.4.18-18.7.x. 8086:1229 is the most common PRO/100 ven:device ID pair out there, so it's unlikely this is caused by a missing entry in the driver's device table, be it with eepro100 or e100. Is this caused by eepro100 being replaced by e100 in the newer kernel? Maybe /etc/modules.conf needs to be updated to replace the old eepro100 alias with e100? Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
