Description Naresh Sukhija 2008-10-07 09:58:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
I tried installing F10Beta on T61 laptop, which has e1000 network card. While installation and during normal boot, the e1000 driver doesn't get detected as any ethX device. then I tried adding the kernel from Fedora 9 CD after which the e1000 driver worked fine

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Install F10Beta on T61 laptop (or any other PC/laptop with Intel gigabit adapter)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F10Beta on T61 laptop (or any other PC/laptop with Intel gigabit adapter)
2. Run ifconfig -a
3. ethX device corresponding to e1000 is not listed
  
Actual results:
ethX device corresponding to e1000 is not listed in ifconfig output

Expected results:
ethX device corresponding to e1000 should be listed in ifconfig output

Additional info:
Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2008-10-08 17:17:20 UTC 
The e1000e driver was removed from the beta because it was corrupting the adapter.
It's back in the latest rawhide kernels.
