When installing RC1 my amd pcnet32 adapter is not detected. This adapter is provided by VMWare, and was detected properly under RH7.0. modprobing pcnet32 seems to load the module just fine. I just tried an upgrade to RC2, and this problem still shows up. :-(
lspci output?

Hm, that *should* be recognized. What does /etc/sysconfig/hwconf say for this card?
class: NETWORK bus: PCI detached: 0 device: eth driver: disabled desc: "Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]|79c970 [PCnet LANCE]" vendorId: 1022 deviceId: 2000 subVendorId: 0000 subDeviceId: 0000 pciType: 1 I'm not missing something here, am I? When I do a 'workstation' install it should give me some option to configure the network card, right? And if it hadn't been detected, if/when kudzu detected it, it should have given me the option to configure some networking for it, right? I'm nearly 100% sure that 'workstation' installs of Red Hat Linux 7.0 gave me the option to configure the networking/network card during the install.
If you install the latest kudzu (from the 0309.0 tree), does the entry in hwconf change to have the correct driver listed instead of 'disabled'?
Updating to that kudzu got me a prompt about configuring the card on reboot, and it also lists the right driver in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.
Cool, thanks for verifying that.
