Got F2 (kernel 2.6.5-1.358) installed on my Presario 2100 and dual-booting well with the original XP (BootItNG did the trick for repartitioning the NTFS). But the modem doesn't work (Linuxant says they have a driver) and the ethernet card won't do anything. It's the built-in NatSemiconductor DP83815/816 10/100 MacPhyter PCI. It's eth0 and I've given it static IP of 192.168.0.11 and everything seems to be fine. During boot it comes up and the Network GUI reports it "ok" and "active". But the hub light is dead and no pinging gets through. Same ethernet works perfect when I boot to XP. One tell-tale thing is on shut down it reports "remaining active for wake-on-lan". Another odd thing is according to the GUI, it gives "unknown" as the IRQ address. XP says it's 11. Any ideas?
