After doing the above I decided to use my now-working net to install KDE. This duly occurred without incident. I then rebooted and ... no net. Current thinking (offlist correspondents etc.) is to try booting F13 and then F14. Perhaps F13 initializes the adaptor in some way that F14 doesn't. Another suggestion: boot w/o ACPI and see what happens. Also, make sure PXE is turned off in the BIOS. And check that the BIOS is up to date. I 'll try all this in order this evening and report later. Of course if it's not just me we should start to hear the screaming from today as F14 hits the public interwebs. poc -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
