Description of problem:
These network cards are too new to be in the FC6 install kernel:
        1. RTL8169S/SB/SC (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI interface)
        2. RTL8168B (Gigabit Ethernet with PCI-Express interface)
        3. RTL8101E (Fast Ethernet with PCI-Express interface)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC6 install kernel

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to do a network install of FC6 on a RTL8168B PCI-X or equivalent.

  
Actual results:
No driver.

Expected results:
An updated install image with r1000 or a driver disk with r1000 on it.

Additional info:
ftp://210.51.181.211/cn/nic/r1000_v1.04.tgz is the link to Realteks
driver download for the cards.

Hello,

The same occurs with the integrated adapter of the Asus P5LD2 SE mainboard,
which seems to be an RTL8168B.

Razvan

(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state)

Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt
to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer
maintained.

Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently
Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no further information lodged.

Thanks for using Fedora!
Comment 3 Jon Stanley 2008-02-08 04:24:38 UTC 
Per the previous comment in this bug, I am closing it as INSUFFICIENT_DATA,
since no information has been lodged for over 30 days.

Please re-open this bug or file a new one if you can provide the requested data,
and thanks for filing the original report!
