Description wwaustin 2013-08-21 15:11:51 UTC
Description of problem:

This machine has 2 network cards.  pcie card: D-Link System Inc DGE-560T PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 13) [works fine] and on the MB Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03) [it may have stopped working with the 3.10.* kernels]  Immediately after the install, both worked fine.  After the first kernel update, the realtek card stopped working altogether.  I have tried allowing NetworkManager to control the card and not doing so (both ways work under fc 17).

To check that the card is working, I put the old root (drive) file system from fedora 17 back in place, and when I booted, both cards came up and worked as expected - and did so for about 6 hours before I swapped the drives back and went back to fedora 19.

I'm not sure whether this is a NetworkManager problem, a kernel problem, a library problem or some other network-specific problem.  So the NetworkManager "component selection" above is a best-guess approximation.

manually setting the routing for the card does not help at all (or appear to work). The D-link card controls the external interfaces (ISP, other non-local systems) and the Realtek card is on the local (192.168.1.0) network.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Not sure it's relevent but:
NetworkManager-0.9.8.2-8.git20130709.fc19.x86_64
kernel-3.10.7-200.fc19.x86_64 (same as with all other 3.10.* x86_64 kernels)


How reproducible:
Happens every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Reboot the machine (or restart network and NetworkManager)
2.
3.

Actual results:

D-Link (sky) card works as expected
Realtek card cannot contact anything on its network.

Expected results:

Both cards should work as expected

Additional info:\

Immediately after the initial install, both cards worked perfectly.  But after running yum update, the problem appeared.  Since there were > 400 updates in that first batch I don't have a clue which of them triggered the problem.

Could you please get the following data?
$ lspci -vvnn | grep Network
$ ip link
$ dmesg
$ NetworkManager log messages showing NM startup (/var/log/messages)

As the problem went away when I went from FC19 to FC20 I'm going to say that it was apparently fixed at some point (either intentionally or otherwise).

As I can no longer reproduce the bug, I recommend that this bug be closed.
