Description of problem: No external networking. Interface is present and can be configured, ifconfig reports device is up, no errors in kernel ringbuffer. It's just not transmitting any packets (that I can see via tcpdump on another box) with this 2.6.16 kernel. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.16-1.2171_F How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot kernel 2. 3. Actual results: No networking outside box. Expected results: Networking Additional info: Last known good kernel was 2.6.16-1.2157_F. The GNOME folks really want to fix gnome-session so it can handle loss of networking - that's been broken for about as long as I've been using GNOME.

It's been working again for a while, dunno what git changeset fixed it and I don't think it really matters at this point either.
