Description Robert K. Moniot 2011-01-05 19:58:18 UTC 
Description of problem: Following upgrade from Fedora 13 to 14, eth0 stopped working on this machine.  Initialization of eth0 prints "OK" on the init sequence and "ifconfig eth0" output looks normal, but there is no connectivity.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686.PAE and 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.i686

How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot system to one of the above kernels using network module e1000e version 1.0.2-k4.
2. Attempt to use ethernet, e.g. ping the router.
3. 
  
Actual results: Get "network not reachable" error message.


Expected results: ping should work.


Additional info: lcpci says this:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)


We are working around this problem by manually building and installing e1000e-1.2.20 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/  .  *This* works.
