Description Sebastian Grosche 2004-06-16 15:02:39 UTC

Description of problem:
on startup eth0 can�t be initalized correctly [FEHLGESCHLAGEN]
and it is not possible to activate the eth0 later in network
configuration. ("unable to initilize - device eth0 seems to be missing")

it must be a central problem, because I also tried other distributions
as mandrake and SUSE. All of them work fine with kernel 2.4 but all
have the same bug with kernel 2.6

Fedora Core 1 works fine as well.

I also tried different ethernet-adapters (D-Link 660, xircom adapter IIps)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.5-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. .. every reboot
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  same as described above

Hardware:
Gericom Notebook NB 3400 (silvershadow)
Pentium III 600
128 MB RAM
D-Link 660 PCMCIA-Adapter 10Mbit

Internet access through DSL-router with DHCP
