Can you attach ifconfig output and /var/log/messages from a boot of the 3.7.2-204.fc18 kernel?
Thanks for responding Neil. Unfortunately I just upgraded over the weekend and can no longer reproduce the problem. Here's what I know. I had two interfaces, one bridge (br0) and one actual (eth1), if I booted into the old kernel they worked, on newer kernels they didn't. I decided to just blow away both of them and reconfigure networking from scratch, at which point I was able to apply and use kernel updates again, which enabled me to upgrade my system. So, there was probably some bug/problem/interaction with how the updates were being handled in my particular case. As far as I'm concerned the bug can be closed WONTFIX or WORKSFORME, unless you have taken a special interest in it.
No, without being able to tinker with it, it will all just be a guessing game. I'll close this for now, feel free to reopen it if the problem recurs.
