I have upgraded from FC1 to FC2.
I have two ethernet cards which under FC1 are reported as: device: eth0 driver: tulip desc: "DEC|DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3]" device: eth1 driver: tulip desc: "Accton|EN-1216 Ethernet Adapter"
After the upgrade both cards were marked as eth0, (or in one case after re-running kudzu eth2 also appeared). In this state they are totally unusable!
The only way I can get my NICs to be detected correctly is to reboot into my trusty 2.4 series kernel, (which had fortunately survived the upgrade).
I diagnose this as being a problem with the FC2 kernel (2.6.5-1.358). Is anyone aware of such a problem, or is there some extra configuration required to make this happen with the 2.6 series kernel?
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
i had the same problem wit 3 nics, my solution was:
remove (save!) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
remove in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf your nic eg.
+-+-+-+-+-+-+- class: NETWORK bus: PCI detached: 0 device: eth0 driver: via-rhine desc: "VIA Technologies|VT6102 [Rhine-II]" network.hwaddr: 00:50:BA:xx:xx:xx vendorId: 1106 deviceId: 3065 subVendorId: 1186 subDeviceId: 1400 pciType: 1 pcibus: 1 pcidev: 1 pcifn: 0 - +-+-+-+-+-+-+-
and let kudzu do his job again # kudzu
check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* and /etc/modprobe.conf for the correct settings eth0, eth1
