From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050308 Firefox/1.0.1 Fedora/1.0.1-5 Description of problem: I am experiencing a very strange and frustrating bug with my network under Fedora Core. I have experienced this bug before on both i386 and x86_64 distributions. I am currently running Fedora Core 4 test 1 for i386 on my AMD Anthlon 64 3700 Laptop. I have a USB mouse plugged in. The laptop is also fitted with a touchpad that I believe is fitted to an internal USB port. When I boot the computer, my network interface eth0 will not come up unless I move the mouse or unplug and then plug back in my USB mouse. Once my computer has booted up, if I try to do anything that involves accessing the Internet or network, my network connection will not work unless I move the mouse. If I am downloading a large file, I will have to keep moving the mouse continually until the download has finished. The network connection is completley dead until I move the mouse, as soon as I stop moving the mouse it goes dead again. I assume this is some kind of interrupt problem with the kernel or network card driver. I have attched the output from the dmesg, dmidecode and lspci commands and the contents of my /proc/interrupts file which I hope will assist you in tracking this bug down. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Make any attempt to access the Internet or network on my laptop. Actual Results: The problem described above. Expected Results: The network should fuction normally without the need for me to keep moving the mouse. Additional info:
