A couple of times now I have rebooted to create the issue and then pounded on the interface with no luck. I then just unclip/pull/push the cord and it comes up like magic. After posting this I installed an old PCI ether card to get around the issue. The only trouble there is that the card does not seem to support "Wake on LAN" which is annoying but I think I can live with that. Another note that I should have included is that this *is* a very old box. It will be 12 years old sometime this year (October I think). And this is the onboard LAN, so maybe it *is* something physical. It just seems odd that it works without issue once it is "bounced" to the working state. -- Doug Herr fedoraproject.org@xxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
