Try booting with acpi off turned off as described in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649570
I tired this, no luck. So maybe it's not the same as bug 649570
+1 lspci -vv | grep Ethernet 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) I have Intel e1000e, and on install of Fedora 14, ethernet will not come up. Networkmanager kept cycling on interface. The ACPI workaround suggested in bug#649570 does not resolve issue, suggesting this is different. This is serious as server has no network connection available from DVD install, making updates difficult. Need a workaround to get over this hump, as well as a fix. Quick Google search suggests it appears kernel &/or intel driver related. Apparently 2.6.36 kernels do not have this issue, and mine works ok on Fedora 13 (kernel-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64)
As a workaround to get my e1000e working on fresh Fedora 14 installation, I compiled and installed the latest Intel e1000 driver (v1.2.20) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ Intel e1000e ethernet and networking now appears to be working fine on kernel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 and kernel-2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64.
I had the same problem on my mobo w/ an Intel 82566DC network controller. The ACPI=off did not fix it. However, my problem was intermittent. Sometimes I would boot from an F14 live USB stick and it would work, but 50% of the time it did not. Whenever I booted from my hard drive installation it would fail. I installed kernel-2.6.36-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm from Rawhide and now networking just works always. The worst part about this bug is that I can't network install...
I'm using a Dell Optiplex 745C with an i82566DM controller, and seeing the same issue. Adding "noapic apci=off" gives no joy. Adding "pcie_aspm=off" also doesn't work.
Grabbed the ixgbe-3.0.14.tar.gz tarball and rebuilt it: % rpmbuild -tb ixgbe-3.0.14.tar.gz % rpm -vvUh rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/ixgbe-3.0.14.fc14.x86_64.rpm and rebooting... no joy.
And... it's the wrong driver. The ixgbe driver doesn't support the i82566DM chipset. So I downloaded the e1000e tarball instead (1.2.20) and tried to build that, but it didn't work (broken .spec file). I modified the e1000e tarball's .spec file using the ixgbe tarball's .spec file which seemed a lot more sane, and built with that. It builds, installs, and even works now. The modified .spec is attached here: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=42302&atid=447449&file_id=394997&aid=3125033 Use this to build instead.
Intel e1000 driver (v1.2.20) built fine from original source. Modification of .spec file was not required by me. I suspect it may depend on where you save the source file. I placed the source file in /usr/local/src/, then did a "make install"...nothing more than that.
Any reason why this is classified as low priority, especially since severity is urgent and there is a known fix?
(In reply to comment #10) > Any reason why this is classified as low priority, especially since severity is > urgent and there is a known fix? The "known fix" of adding hundreds of lines of changes could break some other e1000e models, just like the update to 2.6.35 broke this one. A proper fix that should correct just this bug will be in 2.6.35.10-77 and later kernels.

kernel-2.6.35.11-83.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kernel-2.6.35.11-83.fc14
Works fine here. 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) Thanks
kernel-2.6.35.11-83.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
The e1000e network card driver supplied by Intel worked fine after installation with modprobe in kernel 2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64 on a Dell E6240. It was installed using the conversion from the Intel tarball to an rpm per their instructions. Then I did a post-install update of everything yesterday. This included the kernel 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64. The wired network no longer works. modinfo says that e1000e is installed. So it appears that your fix for 35.11-83 is broken in 13-92. Reinstalling e1000e in 13-92 does not help. Booting with 35-6-45 still works and so that is what I will do for now.
Apropos my last comment: I tried uninstalling kernel-2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64 and then reinstalling it. Wired network still broken and still works with kernel-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.x86_64. Tried several cycles of installing and removing e1000e from 35.13-92 with no useful effect. Also tried to install kernel-2.6.35.11-83.fc14, but yum says it is not in the repository. So I could not confirm your claim that it works with the GigaBit network card. Perhaps I am missing something obvious, but cannot think what it is.
