Description of problem: since the update to kernel 2.6.32.16-150.fc12 my eth0 interface doesn't work anymore. ethtool eth0: Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: Unknown!

Check cable? [FAILED] the cable is fine, tried other ones as well the two status lights next to the ethernet are always continuously on, doesnt matter whether a cable is connected or not.

Please post output of the command 'lspci -vvvnn' when running the old and new kernels (as separate plain-text attachments, not inline.) You will need to run the commands as root to get all of the information.
spontaneous self-healing process: suddenly after some days it's working again. I would say I didn't changed/tried anything which could have fixed it. Anyhow, thank you very much for your help!
