Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 184117
network settings are broken
Last modified: 2008-03-10 21:05:46 EDT
Description of problem: Every time I reboot some network settings are different then previously. First eth1 (wireless) and eth0 (wired) were switched. Now eth0, the wireless card, is shown as ethernet and the wired card as wireless. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: not a clue Steps to Reproduce: 1. reboot and see what changed this time 2. 3. Actual results: see above Expected results: no changes in configuration Additional info: Relevant lspci output: 06:03.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG MiniPCI Adapter (rev 05) 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) I use the drivers that came with fc5t3 and the 2.4 firmware for wlan card.
Found out today that these 2 lines in /etc/modprobe.conf were causing the ethernet/wireless switch: alias eth0 r8169 alias eth1 r8169
Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.]
