G'day all, I have seen a couple of unresolved references to this driver in bugzilla and some fixes for older Fedora and kernel versions that don't reliably work in F16. Removing and reloading the atl1c module repeatedly will get it working less than 5% of the time yet when working may stay up for as little as a few seconds but sometimes for an hour or so. The atl1e driver does not create an em1 device at all. Does anyone know of a fix for this? The situation is: [root@toshiba650 ~]# uname -r 3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64 [root@toshiba650 ~]# ifconfig em1 em1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:26:6C:64:85:0E inet6 addr: fe80::226:6cff:fe64:850e/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3325 errors:71047 dropped:1040 overruns:0 frame:23923 TX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:347987 (339.8 KiB) TX bytes:14942 (14.5 KiB) Interrupt:46 [root@toshiba650 ~]# dmesg | grep atl1c [ 23.059344] atl1c 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 [ 23.059359] atl1c 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 23.195859] atl1c 0000:02:00.0: version 1.0.1.0-NAPI [ 23.561012] atl1c 0000:02:00.0: vpd r/w failed.
