Description of problem: I'm unable to install Fedora 17 through rawhide on a Latitude X300 with a: 02:05.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M Gigabit Ethernet [14e4:165d] (rev 01) network card. During boot link drops around tg3 initialization/link up attempt and cannot be revived. Actually appears to drop at this line: IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): em1: link is not ready Disabling ipv6 removes that line, but link still drops around that time. Removing and re-adding the tg3 module in the dracut shell does not bring it back. Disconnecting/reconnecting the cable doesn't help. Appears to work fine under Windows XP. Tried setting rd.blacklist=tg3 - no effect. Set tg3.tg3_debug=-1 but no new messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.11.0-0.rc6.git1.2.fc21 How reproducible: Every time
Finally seems to be mostly working again.
