Description of problem: After booting the xen kernel, the network interface eth1 is not configured by DHCP. After manual configuration, pinging the gateway or other attached devices does not work. The interrupt count for eth1 remains 0. The ethernet controller is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01), and uses the b44 driver. Also, the attached USB printer and memory stick are not recognized. The interrupt count for USB devices also stays 0. At first glance the problem looked b44 related: see bugs #208242 and #219277. So I used the patched kernel as advised in #208242 (http://people.redhat.com/sct/packages/kernel/kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2857.4.2.fc6.0.2.sct/). That solves the 'No usable DMA configuration, aborting' problem. But the network is still not working. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):2.6.18-1.2857.4.2.fc6.0.2.sctxen How reproducible:always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot xen kernel 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
