Description of problem:
This does not seem to be specific to a particular kernel version, just the architecture (ppc).

On a ppc Mac mini, if I plug in a DLink DUB-E100 (HW Rev. B1) into it, it is recognized by the system. I then try to bring it up (ifup eth1), it is unable to obtain an IP address via DHCP. If I manually assign a static IP to it, it refuses to transmit any packets.

However, on an intel Mac mini, built with essentially the same configuration and updated to the same kernel revision, 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6, I plug the very same DUB-E100 adapter into it, bring it up, and he happily retrieves an IP address, and functions as expected. This is why I highly suspect the issue is specific to the ppc architecture.




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. install FC6 on PPC architecture
2. plug in DUB-E100 usb ethernet adapter
3. try to configure / bring up ethX
