You have said that everything works, but mii-tool is reporting no link. This sounds like the tool is

wrong information, not like you really have a problem.

I was thinking that too. Possibly a driver issue, but
then it occurred to me that it could be hardware as
well. Not so much a bad NIC, but not fully supported.
However, a flaky NIC is still a remote possibility.

Bülent stated in another reply that he was running a
SURECOM EP-320X-S card. Does anyone know of any issues
with this device?

The point of his problem is the inconsistancy. If this
were occuring on one of my machines I certainly wouldn't
let it ride. That's not an attitude consistant with
building stable systems.

Bülent, do you have another NIC you could put in this
machine? Try to make it a different brand and model. And
check the ethernet chipset each is using, it is quite
concievable that you could get one from a different
manufacturer that is based on the same chipset. If this
is a compatibility issue, that won't tell us much.

It would duplicate the problem with alternate hardware,
but if we get that far, it would be better to duplicate
it with another of the same card first and then use a
different card based on the same chipset as a secondary
verification of the compatibilty issue. When it comes to
Problem Determination, I'm nothing if not thourough. :-)

No I haven't 2nd eth. card. But I try to remove eth driver and again install it. Because I used RH9 when installing this card. After that I upgraded FC1. May be ,this problem occur this event.
What do you think?
thank you......
