Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC1, FC2 beta and final release, FC3 How reproducible: I've installed on 4 different PC's, same result. Steps to Reproduce: 1.format during install, install everything 2.NIC setup alway on w/ static IP, any IP/any gateway, no firewall 3.on first boot, connect to internet w/ browser or updater and start exchanging data. Actual results: never works more than a few hours Expected results: shouldn't it work longer than that? Additional info: this may relate to various update failures; I've learned to avoid it by immediately powering down and starting cold after firstboot.
Moving to kernel... not sure where this one should be directed.
