Description of problem: I updated to the latest kernel (the problem is the same with the previous kernel release, but not the one before). That is, the problem occurs with Kernel 2.4.18-24.8.0 and 2.4.18-26.8.0. After the upgrade to these kernels on the server, I am unable to either ping the server (no route to the host) or mount nfs directories.rpcinfo -p <server> returns the same thing. However, if I switch to kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0, nfs works again. The remote machine trying to connect to the server does not have a problem even if it is running the latest kernel. However, if the remote machine is turned into a server, the same problem arises. Note that the machines are on the same local area network running through a linksys router (if that is important). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade server to latest kernel. 2. Make nfs available. 3. ping server (no route to host) Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
what network card is this ?
The network card on the laptop is wpc11 (wireless linksys card), the network card on the server is WUSB11 (linksys USB wireless card). As I said, if I revert the server to kernel 2.4.18-19.8.0, then I am fine with ping and nfs etc. The latest 2 kernels wont let me do that.
