Howdy.  Fedora 8 user here, relatively new to the platform.

I'm running a Linksys gigabit card that uses the r8169 driver. Under kernel 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 it works just fine.

I upgraded this weekend to kernel 2.6.24.3-12.fc8, and while the driver still loads, it doesn't detect the card correctly.

lspci still shows the card as taking up its standard place on the PCI bus.

A preliminary Google shows nothing on this issue.

Forgive my ignorance-- what's the next step to troubleshoot this?


The 2.6.24 kernels that I tried all failed for me in development. The 2.6.25 kernels work once again which are in development.

You might need to stick with the 2.6.23 kernel and file a bug against the 2.6.24 kernel.

I feel that they should have stuck to the 2.6.23 kernels or jumped to the 2.6.25 kernel instead. My cisco wireless would lock up the network when it booted. It does not lock up the system with the 2.6.25 kernel.
