Description of problem: I have a laptop with an e100 card as eth0 and a orinoco based wlan card as eth1. I've set them up through redhat-config-network and on boot they work just fine. However, after suspend resume the pcmcia based WLAN adapter is started as eth0 and the system is confused since it now has the wrong MAC. This leads to modules not wanting to be unloaded etc and I have to reboot the system to get network up and running again. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This is all the latest stuff from rawhide today. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

you don't have to reboot the system, just do the following: ifdown eth0; ifdown eth1 rmmod <module list> where module list is probably "e100 orinoco_pci orinoco hermes" or something similar. Then, if you want to use wireless: modprobe eth0; ifup eth1 otherwise, if you want to use landline: ifup eth0; modprobe eth1 otherwise, if you don't want to use either right now: modprobe eth0; modprobe eth1 This should allow you to avoid the reboot, but it does need to be fixed ;)
