what ethernet card ? lspci output please.
oh wait, does your usb cable modem usually show up as eth1 ? Which driver does it use ?
On this systen I also have a Via Rhine II that shows up as eth0. There seemed to be a consistent problem with that driver that was related to acpi so I switch to the usbnet connection USB CDC Ethernet Driver. This has been reliable till kernel.315. The caveat being that kernel.309 was the last to boot on my machine, an EPIA V with a C3. Kernel.326 boots but the usbnet/CDC Ethernet Driver fails to connect. Booting with the kernel.309 is OK. During bootup of kernel.326 the activity led on the modem goes active but eth1 fails to connect. I notice a variety of usb related complaints on the test list post kernel.309.
Can you "lsmod |grep usb" and paste everything that shows up?
/sbin/lsmod | grep usb usbnet 22412 0 mii 3712 2 via_rhine,usbnet crc32 3968 2 via_rhine,usbnet
I think it's a regression in the fresh 2.6 we picked up recently. The USB subsystem seems toast. The best is to wait for the next iteration, IMHO.
I have the same problem with 2.6.5-1.327smp and my Motorola SB4200E cablemodem. It worked fine before upgrade from 2.6.5-1.322smp. /sbin/lsmod|grep usb gives usbnet 25228 0 mii 7552 1 usbnet crc32 7808 1 usbnet
i have the same problem with my AMBIT cable modem ( ifup eth0 - fails ) which works just fine on kernel 2.6.3.xxx
Problem solved with 2.6.5-1.349smp in RawHide.
