Description of problem: Using FC6, and several kernels including 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6. If I reboot my machine, the r8169 driver does not load properly and you can't make a network connection. Powering off the machine, waiting 10-15secs and then powering up, the controller works properly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Cold boot, make connection with card 2. reboot 3. card is not loaded and ifconfig sees it with a name like _tmp23453467 Actual results: Can't connect using TCP/IP after warm boot Expected results: Connection should work after cold or warm boot Additional info:
I've run into this bug on Fedora 7 using the following two kernels: 2.6.21-1.3194-fc7 GOLD 2.6.21-1.3228-fc7 Upon soft-boot, the device appears to fail establishing an Ethernet link, dmesg reports the following: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Upon cold-boot, device links fine, but I was still unable to push any traffic through (perhaps a misconfig on my part).
I believe this is fixed in 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 and possibly in kernel-2.6.22.1-41.fc7
It is still not fixed. $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 #1 SMP Tue Oct 30 13:55:12 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ dmesg | egrep "eth0|r8169" r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded eth0: RTL8169sc/8110sc at 0xf8828000, 00:1a:4d:73:5f:2e, XID 18000000 IRQ 20 r8169: eth0: link down r8169: eth0: link down ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready I have tried to power off machine. But this didn't helped.
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, since no information has been lodged for over 30 days. Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data, and thanks for filing the original report!
