Description of problem: Dell Laptop cpia 366 in a C dock 1. Network card 3c905 (Boomerang) does not get IP, works fine in Redhat 9.1/all windows but not in Fedora ! Tried installing all updates. Tried updating from working 9.1, tried new install of Fedora. Card is reconised but can not be activated Error# Determining IP information for eth0... failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This is probably a known problem between Kudzu and the 3c59x module. As a workaround try the following : 1. "su -" <enter root password> 2. "chkconfig --level 12345 kudzu off" 3. <reboot> See Bugzilla Bug 107389 for details.
After verifying that this works by rebooting and running ifconfig. I ran 1. "su -" <enter root password> 2. "chkconfig --level 12345 kudzu on" 3. <reboot> hopefully turning kudzu ON- I think I want this on a laptop that gets plugged into many diferent DOCKS. On the reboot after turning kudzu back "ON" the 3c905 (Boomerang) card came up as expected. Thank you, NEWBIE
