same happens when I suspend to ram. modprobe -r eth0 modprobe eth0 ifup eth0 also don't work. why is the nic dead till next reboot?
just wanted to note that I reported it upstream and it seems that the forcedeth driver does not support suspend. an experimental patch is also in the upstream bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6398 (not tested yet)
the patch in the upstream bugzilla fixes the problem for me. can we have this simple patch (66 lines) into the FC5 kernel?
Patch looks ok and it only touches forcedeth too.
dave any comments?
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed. Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a comment to the bug. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613. If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem. Thank you.
No its still not fixed, but a patch exists see upstream bugreport for more details.
patch merged for next update.
should be fixed in 2.6.18-1.2239.fc5 now in updates.
2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 works fine thx for include the fix ( I don't have a fc5 box to test it but its the same fix which worked before and works now in fc6 so I assume that this is fixed too)
