Description of problem: I upgraded from FC2 TEST1 to FC 2. My static network info got trashed and my card (Netgear FA311 DP83815) was unrecognised after the upgrade. Fixed the problem using on KDE Network Configuration tool Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC2 How reproducible: Only done once ! (and I'm not going back to a test release) Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: I suspect the upgrade procedure is the issue as it was easy to fix with Network Configuration tool.
Do you have the non-working config files?

/etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* /etc/modprobe.conf
