I recently installed Fedora 17, 64 bit, on an HP h8-1320t. The machine has an on-board ethernet port (RJ-45). According to the machine's spec sheet, that is device is an "Atheros AR8161L". Fedora does not see that interface device at all. Dmesg and /var/log/messages contain no mention of "Atheros AR8161L" or any useful substring thereof. There are no *eth0* files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
By default FC17 makes up odd names for interfaces, look at "ifconfig -a" for it. There is a config option to fix it, but no config option to use a MAC to name conversion file so the name on the card is fixed. I'm looking at that, but in my spare time. If have have just one NIC, the config will let always be eth0.
I know that the port hardware works because I was able to make network connections from the machine using MS Windows. Thanks for any suggestions. Stowe Davison http://nic-nac-project.de/~davison
