From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827 Description of problem: Dlink DFE-550TX Ethernet card detects on reboot and is added to /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. But no user interaction is prompted for ethernet configuration. Card indicates link and traffic, but setting up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx by hand or through the GUI does not work. After setting up the ifcfg file (and /etc/sysconfig/network) I execute a /etc/init.d/network restart. This indicates a successful start yet ifconfig -a shows only the loopback. two of these cards were tried on two different RH Ent3 boxes, nothing worked. Swaped cards with a Mandrake 9.2 box and the D-Link worked fine in Mandrake the stolen Netgear card worked in RH Ent3. I believe this has to do with the Sundance chipset driver. I understood there were issues with this in a RH9 Beta, but supposedly it was fixed. Is this a re-emergence of the same bug? (100456, Please excuse the double-post on that report.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.21-9.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install card 2. Reboot system 3. configure ethernet device 4. attempt to start (DHCP or Static - results are the same) Actual Results: No ethernet connection Expected Results: An ethernet connection Additional info: As stated, both cards worked on other Linux platforms.
RHEL 4 Desktop Beta 1, the same problem is present. Exact same details as above.
Can someone provide lspci/dmesg/lsmod info?
