Description of problem: network interface doesn't work properly with default instalation of Fedora Core using a 3com 10/100 ethernet card (Boomerang). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Install a fresh copy af Fedora core using 3com card. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: the network doesn't work Expected results: Additional info:
Erh, could you offer some more info? Also, i would suspect this is more of a kernel driver problem rather than one of net-tools. In order to narrow it down please provide the following info output: lspci -v lsmod uname -av rpm -q glibc kernel And of course some more details on what doesn't work. :-) Read ya, Phil
Yes, I agree that the problem is with the kernel driver. lspci lists card as 3Com Corporation: Unknown Device 8050 (card id is 10b7:8050). During install the card was recognised as boomerand and driver was loaded somehow (but don't ask me how). I changed a card to Cyclone (as I had problems) and it work. When I reverted back: - kudzu removed Cyclone configuration - it didn't print a word about Boomerang - modprobe 3c59x doesn't work with "no such device" error message I currently have kernel 2.4.22-1.2135.nptl i586. This card worked until today on RedHat 7.3 with latest kernel errata applied (smp kernel).
