Description of problem: After upgrade of system not using NetworkManager from Fedora 8 to rawhide (pre Fedora 9), the network interface won't come up. Network driver is e1000e Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 initscripts-8.74-1.x86_64 dhclient-4.0.0-14.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. service network stop 2. service network start 3. Actual results: Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present. Check cable? [FAILED] Log shows: May 3 08:58:05 naomi kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready Expected results: Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0... done. [ OK ] Additional info: ethtool shows a link at only 100Mbit (should be 1000Mbit) intermittently, other times shows no link. Removing patch cable (cat 5, not 5e) via Belkin UPS solved the issue. It seems to me that the new driver is more fussy (and is probably saving me from a life of pain later), but perhaps some release notes should indicate this? Oddly, the install worked fine (upgrade over PXE booted network)
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Can't believe this bug's been around for almost a year as "high" priority and severity and nobody has touched it. I'm having the same problems. It just started for me when I rebooted with 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
