The Via gigabit problem has been fixed in the 2.6.9 kernels . It would flood traffic accross the network. So bad for me it would take down my router. You need to update your FC3. I know because I helped push the fix into the kernel, they where just sitting on it for a while. Update your FC3 and you will be fine. And to anyone else reporting issue. PLEASE update your FC3 before reporting problems. On Fri, 5 Nov 2004 14:29:28 +0000, Marc McAllister <fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Quoting "Mark W.
