Description of problem:
Presence of recent Intel Pro/1000 MT card (Intel part PWLA8391MT, 
with 82541 chip) causes Anaconda (and the kernel in general) to not 
see either that particular NIC card or any of the built-in NICs that 
have the same or Intel chipsets (e.g. 82546EB.)

Intel has reved the Pro/1000 to use a new chipset (82541).  Things 
work fine if the new-version of the Pro/1000 is removed from the 
machine and the older version, Intel part number PWLA8390MT (with 
82540 chipset), used in its place.  It is only the new cards that 
cause the system to fail to recognize *any* of the Intel NICs in the 
machine.

In Anaconda this manifests itself by an inability to do kickstart/NFS 
installations.

This problem affects Anaconda during the install as well as the full 
system post-install.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install recent version of Intel Pro/1000MT (Part PWLA8391MT)
2. Try to install Fedora Core 2 test 3 from CD with command line of 
"linux ks=nfs:somehosthost:ks.cfg"
3.
    

Actual Results:  Rather than getting to the screen that asks which of 
my NIC's to use (which is what normally happens when the older Intel 
NICs are installed) no network interfaces are found and Andaconda 
goes forward and asks for languages etc, and eventually asks for a 
install medium.  If the user enters "nfs" and then selects driver 
e1000 the machine comes back and says there is no matching hardware.

Expected Results:  Anaconda should have asked me to pick one of my 
NICs and then begun the kickstart.

Additional info:

Platform is a Supermicro Motherboard X5DPR-IG2+, dual Xeon, 512Meg, 
40gig drive dual built-in intel NICs, one additional Pro/1000MT Intel 
Nic in a PCI slot.
