Description of problem:
Prior to installation of the Cisco Aironet 340 card, I have only an
onboard Realtek NIC.  I got normal dmesg output (see attached).  The
NIC is device eth0.

I then installed an Aironet 340 PCI card.  Kudzu came up on boot and
recognized the card.  However, dmesg shows an oops later on when it
tries to "unregistering eth0" (see attached).

Interestingly, there's an attempted swap of eth0 with eth1, plus it
attempts to bring up some device wifi0 that has no ifcfg-wifi0 file
associated with it.  However, rehat-config-network shows eth0 as being
still being associated with the Realtek, and eth1 being associated
with the Cisco.

Upon removal of the Cisco, everything works fine again.  (That's how
I'm submitting this bug. :) )  I'm not familiar enough with this to
know whether to blame kudzu or the airo module, so apologies if this
is in the wrong spot.


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Aironet 340 PCI.
2. Let kudzu configure it on boot.
3. Note dmesg output -- all eth* devices confused.
4. Remove Aironet 340 PCI.
5. Let kudzu unconfigure it on boot.
6. Note dmesg output -- eth* are OK.

I just verified that the same anomalous dmesg output occurs when kudzu
is told to ignore the Cisco card, instead of autoconfiguring it.  It
looks like the issue is with the airo module.

Comment 3 David Lawrence 2004-09-29 20:23:34 UTC
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
