Hide Forgot
Description of Problem: On booting when attempting to activate eth0 it times out on my network (Roadrunner) How Reproducible: Does it from home on my cable modem, no problem on my work machine. Actual Results: ifup fails. Expected Results: link up on my machine... Additional Information: Increasing the sleep value in network-functions (check_link_down routine) fixes the problem.
Fixed in 6.11-1.
I have exactly the same error with my cablemodem. Increasing the sleep value doesn't make a difference (I even put "sleep 180"). I am waiting for the new package to show up in rawhide, to see if it fixes the problem for me.
Does your cable modem have a "PC" light? if it's lit, you may want to just use dhcpcd by itself, just to make sure that you can get an IP address etc.,
Yes, my modem has the PC light, and it gets on. Actually, right now I am using windows 2000 (shame on me) with the same configuration, I used Seawolf with no problems, but I upgraded to roswell, and I have no internet connection from linux now. I am waiting for the rawhide packages. I also tried rpm -e pump and no luck, still the same problems. Thanks for your suggestions.
