User-Agent: Build Identifier: PCMCIA ethernet card works fine with the 2.6.7 kernel provided by Knoppix. With stock FC3 kernel, whenever a network access is attempted, the laptop locks up. Note: Knoppix 2.6.7 kernel was installed manually; the rest of the system is standard FC3. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot laptop, selecting stock FC3 kernel 2. From console execute: ping 192.168.0.1 (the dsl modem; any address will do) Alternate step 2: Ping the laptop from another machine on the network. Actual Results: System locks up Expected Results: should be a valid network connection not sure which module is actually causing the crash.

still a problem with the latest errata kernel ?
My pcmcia card still locks up with kernel-2.6.9-1.698_FC3. Adding "noapic acpi=off" did not resolve the problem. I've posted a table at http://soleil.nfldinet.com/~rockdoctor/lsmod.html showing the output from lsmod for both kernels as currently configured.
I thought I'd try a newer kernel. This is with kernel-2.6.9-1.1014_FC. (no change in behavior, just proving the info) /var/log/messages when card is inserted: Dec 9 14:19:45 spinel kernel: PCI: Enabling device 0000:05:00.0 (0000 -> 0003) Dec 9 14:19:45 spinel kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0x4800, 00:c0:26:b0:d0:28, IRQ 11 Dec 9 14:19:49 spinel kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 Dec 9 14:19:50 spinel dhclient: sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 Dec 9 14:19:53 spinel dhclient: sit0: unknown hardware address type 776 Dec 9 14:19:57 spinel dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Dec 9 14:19:57 spinel dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.128.1 Dec 9 14:19:59 spinel NET: /sbin/dhclient-script : updated /etc/resolv.conf Dec 9 14:19:59 spinel dhclient: bound to 192.168.128.100 -- renewal in 227470 seconds. ============== no messages while locked up.

I just compiled kernel-2.6.10-rc3 from kernel.org; with it my PCMCIA card works fine.
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
This bug has been automatically closed as part of a mass update. It had been in NEEDINFO state since July 2005. If this bug still exists in current errata kernels, please reopen this bug. There are a large number of inactive bugs in the database, and this is the only way to purge them. Thank you.
