From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) IBM 10/100 Etherjet CardBus adapter is detected at boot, but cannot establish a network connection; worked in previous kernel release Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Boot to stock 2.2.19-6.2.1 kernel and pcmcia-cs Actual Results: System cannot establish a TCP/IP connection Expected Results: System should have established a TCP/IP connection Network is DHCP-only; cannot test whether it would work if I had a static IP. Machine is a stock ThinkPad 600E. I took a look at Kernel Traffic and the linux-kernel archive and it appears to this newbie that there is work going on in the 2.4 tree to correct the problem; I hope it will filter down to the 2.2.x kernel, RH 6.2 level. I'll attach relevant portions of /var/log/messages.

I have the same problem. I have a Xircom 10/100 PCMCIA ethernet card. It is detected when pcmcia cardmgr starts (emits two beeps to indicate success), but it cannot establish a network connection, though ifconfig shows eth0 as up, no packets can get in or out. I am using a static IP configuration. Everything worked fine before I upgraded to kernel-2.2.19-6.2.1. All previous kernel RPMs for 6.2 work fine.
A new 2.2.19 kernel has been released yesterday that has the old xircom driver back in. If this does not fix it, please reopen this bug.
