Hi Robert,

thanks for raising this. What kernel version were you using when this was working before? 

Thanks,
Michele

Hi Michele,

I was on 3.10.10.

One thing I noticed was that before, it would take a bit longer to connect and then say "Connected to Auto Ethernet", but now while the connecting icon is there, it suddenly changes to cable unplugged for a bit then says connected.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 19 kernel bugs.

Fedora 19 has now been rebased to 3.11.1-200.fc19.  Please test this kernel update and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Hi Robert,

as Josh mentioned, can you test the latest 3.11.1-200.fc19 and let us know if 
the issue persists?

thanks,
Michele

Hi Michele,

I just got the update yesterday - seems to solve things for now. I'll reopen the bug if I still experience things.

Thanks!
Robert
