Description of problem: My wired r8169 stopped working. The driver is loaded - I don't see any errors. tcpdump reports nothing (except my own dhcp requests). NM won't connect. Booted 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64. Works. I have repeated this several times. One thing I don't understand - I'm sure r8169 has been working for me for quite a while after that last kernel update. One thing - I DID get a bunch of yum updates last night - but none seem to be relevant. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
FYI, it is also broken in RHEL 5.2 kernel 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5, and in the previous 2.6.18-92.el5 kernel as well Revert to the 2.6.18-53.1.21.el5 kernel and all is well.
I've just seen this problem with the r8169 driver on a new ACER laptop. The problem went away by temporarily turning acpi=off. We ran yum update to the latest kernel and now everything is fine.
This could be a duplicate of Bug #444966. Could you check whether doing a "rmmod r8169; modprobe r8169" makes the device come up?
I no longer have this problem. Not sure what made the difference.
Is this fixed in 2.6.26.3-29?
I am not seeing the problem in 2.6.26.3-29 (not sure how many versions back it was fixed)
