A new occurance toady caused the network to again stop working. I will attach an extract from /var/log/messages again. This time, acpi and apm have been disabled at the boot prompt. Also, for info, lspci reports the following hardware: 00:00.0 Host bridge: ALi Corporation: Unknown device 1683 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ALi Corporation PCI to AGP Controller 00:02.0 PCI bridge: ALi Corporation M5249 HTT to PCI Bridge 00:03.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1563 HyperTransport South Bridge (rev 20) 00:03.1 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 Power Management Controller [PMU] 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5455 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 10) 00:0e.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c5) 00:0e.1 Ethernet controller: ALi Corporation M5261 Ethernet Controller (rev 30) 00:0f.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:0f.1 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:0f.2 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:0f.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0 Controller (rev 01) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) 02:07.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 02) The only SCSI device is a HP DAT Tape.

can you try and repeat this on the errata kernel ? 2.6.9 is quite old.
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.
Closed due to lack of response. Please re-open when the requested test results are available...thanks!
