I just went back and tried kernel-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 and the network is
broken there too...

Hi All,
I just recently did a 'yum' update to my existing FC4 install, and
re-booted. The 'yum update' updated my kernel.
kernel-2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 --> kernel-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4
My network connection stopped.
If I look at the network support tools, it looks like everything is
working.
During boot, I see the network service start (appears fine), and the a
long pause when trying to connect to the nntp "Time Server" (which
Fails).
If I reboot using the old (2.6.12-1.1456) kernel, everything works fine.
Typically when I've yum-updated before, everything that's needed to
support the kernel "comes with it".
I'm running FC4 on an HP Pavilion 8150, with a Linksys NC100 (Network
Everywhere Fast Ethernet 10/100 [rev 11]) card. And I've never had
any problems, until now.
Obviously, this isn't an urgent issue, because I can boot using the
old kernel, but does anyone know of something I should have done?
My first thought when this happened was that my network card had died,
so I replaced it with a 3 Com 3c905, and got exactly the same
problem. (That's when I tried putting the old card back in and
booting using the old kernel.)
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Jon
