I have an IBM A21p notebook, with a built-in 3c556B Ethernet device, that has run RH7.3 through FC1 - with generally fewer problems with each release. Just tried to do a network install of FC2 and encountered bug 116095 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116095) originally reported in FC2T1. Also found bugs 107389 and 117484 which may be related.
I can burn CDs and attempt a non-network install, but am concerned that there might be post-install problems in FC2 with the 3c556B or other 3c59x driver devices; however, can't find anything directly relevant to FC2 operation with this device in Bugzilla, fedora-list, or fedora-test-list. Can anyone report success (or failure) with a 3c556B in FC2?
Thanks, Phil
I got the same results with SuSE 9.1 LiveCD, so it seems to be something with the 2.6 kernel...
