Had to replace dying cpu and mobo, so also replaced IDE with new SATA
drive. Installed from latest ISO onto SATA and can't get networking
to lease an IP address from my ISP (Comcast). The network utility
always comes up with a private address (192.168.0.2) instead of
Comcast IP.
To add to confusion, if I boot into old IDE drive, I get proper
network connection to internet, but lose my swap!
Particulars:
mobo=Gigabyte P35-DS3R
SATA Controller=AHCI
PATA Controller=JMicron 20360
new drive=ATA WDC WD1600AAJS-2
old drive=WDC WD400JB-00JJA0
DVD-RW=Pioneer DVR-112D (PATA)
NICs=eth0=Realtek RTL-8029(AS) (DHCP)
eth1=Realtek RTL-8029(AS) (Static)
Has anyone seen this? Will 5.2 help with this situation? Been
working on this for days!
If it helps any, I tried installing 5,1 on a P35-DS3L and I believe I
had issues with the network card, loaded RHEL 5.2 desktop and everything
worked so maybe 5.2 will work for you.
Thanks for the info, Juan. I'll just hold tight until 5.2 comes down
the pike.

Release notes list the following Realtek drivers added, but I don't see
yours mentions:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Release_Notes/x86/ar01s01.html
Network driver r8169 updated to add support for the following devices:
RTL8169sb/8110sb
RTL8169sc/8110sc
RTL8168b/8111b
RTL8101e
RTL8100e
I don't know maybe it's not listed but it's compatible, I know that it
works. Same thing with OSX86, it works <GRIN>

Updating the r8169 driver will not solve a driver issue with the RTL8029
chip.
The RTL8029 is an old NE2000 clone chip (must be atleast 10 years old by
now). It was common on cheap 10Mbit PCI cards and is supported by the
ne2k-pci driver for many years (and the plain ne2k driver before PCI
support was split out).
