When I build with the original Fedora 7 release kernel ( ftp://ftp.belnet.be/linux/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/os/Fedora/kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7.i686.rpm ) everything works fine. However, when I boot with any updated kernels or any other kernel (have tried building from several points in the linus git tree between 2.6.20 and .23-rc3, and 2.6.21.2 in -stable) I cannot get an IP address via dhcp. There is no error in dmesg. The card shows a link and otherwise appears to be working, but it is as if the dhcp server has been removed from the network. On a running system there is no indication that this is a kernel bug at all, however by varying only the kernel the bug appears and disappears. I've run all these tests repeatedly with no intervening updates of any other packages. As I said I attempted to build 2.6.21.2 ( the point of divergence between the Fedora kernel in question and -stable ) and still the card did not work. I will next attempt to manually build the rpm for the release kernel. If this works I will try experimenting with the included patches to narrow it down, but at this point I'm at a complete loss. -Casey Dahlin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
