Description Matt Luker 2001-08-09 00:01:49 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010803

Description of problem:
When the network card (RTL8139) is setup to use DHCP, it fails to retrieve
DHCP information with the following error message:
"Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present.  Check cable?"

Checked cable just in case I was an idiot--it turned out not to be the case
this time.

Repeated attempts also fail.  Recycling of the DHCPD server changed
nothing.  Recycling network via /etc/rc.d/init.d/network also failed.  Made
sure all firewalling code (chains and tables) were off.  No effect.

Reconfigure the network card to use a static ip address.  The card then
came up and could see the network.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.setup card (rtl8139, using 8139too) to use DHCP
2.execute 'ifup eth0'
3.fails
4.setup card (rtl8139, using 8139too) to use static settings
5.execute 'ifup eth0'
6.succeeds
	

Actual Results:  Fails for DHCP, succeeds for static.

Expected Results:  Succeeds for DHCP, succeeds for static.

Additional info:

Worked fine under RH 7.1 (i386).

The calls to mii-tool to check for a device link are removed in
initscripts-6.11-1; the device should work fine with dhcp then.
