Description of problem: Under FC3 or Windows, ethernet works fine. Under FC6 (kernel 2.6.18), it fails on boot, then after plugging in, networking comes up after 30sec, works for 32sec, and then fails after 32sec. Kernel appears to detect nothing wrong (dmesg shows no failures or other activity) but all connectivity is gone (as evidenced by ping by ip addr to gateway). Machine is an Ampro ETX-610 [www.ampro.com/assets/applets/ETX610_Datasheet.pdf] with AMD Geode CPU and ethernet chip is Davidcom DM9102D. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6 as originally released (ie. kernel 2.6.18) How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: See above Actual results: See above Expected results: See above Additional info: Shutdown also fails- "shutdown -h now" reports "System Halted." but does not power down. "shutdown -r now" reports "System Halted." but does not reboot. Screenshots available.
which driver are you using? dmfe or tulip? currently tulip claims support for this chips pci id, but it doesn't seem to work properly, so you should probably try dmfe. Also, both tulip and dmfe have debug options (either via module options, or ethtool). You should set those to be as verbose as possible and then try your nic again to see what error messages you may be getting.
ping. any update?
Seems we should just remove support from tulip for at least 1282:9102.
