A few days ago I wrote complaining that my new, cheap Compaq Presario (sr5010nx) could not create and maintain a dsl connection using Centos5. I was puzzled that that Ubuntu - with pppoeconf - would work just fine but Centos5 could not be configured. (cento4 -also) Eventually I googled and found a bug report for the r8169 Gigabit ethernet driver. Conclusion - there is a patch in new kernels - I tried the Centos 2.6.18 kernel - again no results - and finally I installed a fc6-2.6.20 kernel - problem solved. -----------------gary _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
