I renamed the old driver r8169 to offr8169, rebooted and was able to install the r8101 driver. (There was typo in the original post indicating it was the r8108 driver.) I'll re-generate the error messages and post the results on Friday. (I deleted the old /var/log/messages file since there was to much noise in it so I need to reboot to regenerate the errors but my machine is currently updating Fedora.) The LAN, wireless and sound are working so I'm happy camper. -- Article. VI.

If you can capture that then it should be easy to work out if what you are seeing is a fixed bug and a kernel update will help.

kernel bug in 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 for r8101E NIC?
Hi - I have a r8101E NIC (10/100 Mbit/sec) on a Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7815 laptop (AMD Dual Core 64 bit) which I'm trying to get working. There's appears to be a bug in the default kernel (2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64) for Fedora 9: Sep 24 09:02:22 localhost kernel: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded Sep 24 09:02:22 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :04:00.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 Sep 24 09:02:22 localhost kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0208 This bug prevents the installation of Fedora 9 unless the LAN device is disabled. I downloaded the r8108E driver from RealTek which I can build and install, but the problem is I can *NOT* rmmod r8169 ERROR: Module in use and I can not insmod r8108 insmod: error inserting 'r8101.ko' : -1 Invalidmodule format I am dead in the water. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Article. VI.
