From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Dmesg show "tulip: Unknown parameter 'irq'". This message repeats 3 times in dmesg. On initial install of FC2 the card was recognized and an IP address was obtained from my DHCP server, however, I couldn't ping anything on the net. The card was working previous to the install of FC2 on both Windows 98 and Slackware 4.0. When I manually try to configure with the "Internet Configuration Wizard" in the Select Ethernet Device I have 2 choices, "NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (eth0)" and "Other Ethernet Card". I select "NC100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 (eth0)" -> Forward and in the "Configure Network Settings" window I select "Automatically obtain IP address settings with 'dhcp'" and check the box "Automatically obtain DNS information from provider". When I select Forward, I get the "Create Ethernet Device" screen. The device shows up "Inactive" in the Network Configuration window but when I activate it, then the system-configure-network returns "Cannot activate network device eth0" and "tulip device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot 2. 3. Additional info:
edit /etc/modprobe.conf and remove the irq option from the tulip driver..
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closing per lack of response to previous comment. Note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
