Created attachment 114522 [details] tulip-bug.patch I definitely see the problem, this is my guess at the correct solution...
I have test kernels w/ the above patch here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc4/ Would you mind trying those kernels and posting the results here? Thanks!
sorry, but i cannot install fc4test3 due to unsupported sata controller :( (and test the driver for NIC) maybe i should fill another bug report
The patch has been picked-up in the official FC4 kernels...you should be OK w/ the next fc4test release. I'm going to close this for now...please reopen if the problem persists past fc4test4. Thanks!
