Can you specify the last revision of the kernel which was functionnal for your network adapter ? A description of the host system + lspci -vx output will be welcome. Created attachment 105472 [details]
Output from lspci -vx
This is the first time I'm using this netcard. It's a new one. The lspci info is of course added by your request. Btw. I found out that by setting the netcard to run only at 10Mbit by attach it to an old hub, the message on the console is gone and i can actually use the netcard. Unfortunally at the "speed" at 10Mbit :( I have checked the sources of the kernel 2.6.8-1.521 and it lags a bit wrt link management for the r8169 driver. You can try to apply http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.8/r8169-2.6.8-to-2.6.9.patch It contains an upgrade to the current 2.6.9 code which seems decently stable and will provide a few extra functions to manage the link via 'ethtool'. Please report success/failure. Btw I am not sure that you want to have the 8169 on the same irq line than your scsi adapter (especially as it is shared a lot). Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you. |
