Description of problem: eth0 seems to have serious problems communicating with external world. tcpdump shows outgoing packets but nothing coming back, and my hub's leds don't indicate any data around, so packets never phisically leave my network card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2-test3 How reproducible: I've just tried one installation (custom), with common packets selected. I've been redhat user since version 5, so my installation procedure is roughly the same as always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core 2 2. Configure ethernet as DHCP (shouldn't matter) 3. Watch your NIC not to work. Additional info: Actually after messing for a few minutes with ifconfig up/down, tcpdump, ping, and so on, i started getting the following kernel message every 5-10 seconds (i didn't measure it): eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 90.

I'd like to attach "lspci -v" output but you ran out of disk space..how incredible. This should be the relevant part anyway: 02:0b.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905 100BaseTX [Boomerang] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 9 I/O ports at d400
maybe this is related to bugs #107389 (I described my problem there) and #116095. I have (lspci -v): 00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c590 10BaseT [Vortex] Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 248, IRQ 12 I/O ports at d000 [size=32] Expansion ROM at cffe0000 [disabled] [size=64K]
