Fedora 7 hangs right before graphical login. If network cable is plugged you must remove it to continue boot sequence. If the network is unplugged during boot, you must plug it in to continue boot sequence. If Network Manager services are disabled, then computer boots fine whether cable is plugged in or not.

Any reason you included ipw2200 in the subject? I don't see any obvious reason to mention it. Can you disable the wireless card in the BIOS? If you do, does that change this bug? Or do you still get the hang w/ the log references to r8169?
The reason I included ipw2200 is if the ethernet cable is plugged in during boot, right before the login process it will hang and spew the above trace, when I remove the cable it will continue to boot, but NetworkManager will still show it connected as a wired device and I physically have to select a wireless device to get it connected wirelessly. I can't disable the wireless in BIOS, but I have a hardware switch that has been used to disable the wireless, with the same results, It hangs and displays the same RTL8169 reference. I even tried to trick the ethernet port by using a loopback plug with the same hang results.
Please try adding a line like this to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist: blacklist ipw2200 And then reboot -- I would like to determine if ipw2200 is involved or not...thanks!
