Gentle FedoraForum Folk,

I'm having a problem getting networking working with any Fedora Core 2 smp kernel. Well, any *rpm* of an FC2 kernel. I'm not a linux newbie, as I've been using Red Hat since 1997. I've tried everything that I know and I'm stumped.

I've googled & googled, I've even searched here, but to no avail. I know I should provide you folks with "ifconfig" and "route -e" and other output, but the problem is this: other than an ACPI message at bootup about S3 and PAE not liking each other (and S3 being turned off), my machine boots normally. Networking comes up normally, but I can't get any packets into or out of my machine.

However, if I boot into a single CPU kernel, everything just works.

Having an smp machine, I'd really like this to utilizer both procs.

Please let me know what info y'all need to help me out & I will gladly provide it.

Thanks!

I had the exact same problem as you! I googled around for days before coming across this post (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-20736.html). It doesn't really mention network cards specifically, but the advice did work for me. good luck!
