Description of problem: I run a notebook IBM Thinkpad T42p with installed FC5 + all available updates. When updating kernel from 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 to 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 no network connections are posiible anymore. I've tested a number of applications yum, ssh, firefox etc. and had ethereal run at the destination machine. In case of ssh no keyexchange works anymore. There are no special entries in /var/log/messages. Restarting the network, stoping iptables do not have any effect. SELinux is disabled on the machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel package 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 How reproducible: Install kernel 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 and try to connect somewhere Steps to Reproduce: 1. install kernel 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 2. reboot 3. try to connect somewhere Actual results: No connection over no network possible Expected results: Network connection should be possible to establish as they did for all FC5 kernel versions prior to 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5 Additional info:
2107 was horribly broken. this is very likely fixed in 2111 which just got pushed out.
Okay, we'll see ;-)
