I guess I'm asking, who to send this to? It seems a combo of lots of
things, mainly hardware detection gone wrong. It's 2.6.5 kernel, mdk.
have you tried the e100 driver instead of eepro100 for the onboard card?

I had a similar problem with Fedora C2 - 2.6.5 kernel. When I 'warm' reboot
the problem comes up; when I 'cold' reboot the problem disappears. So, my
work around was to 'cold' reboot all the time.
I've fixed this problem by upgrading from 2.6.5 to 2.6.9-rc3-bk1 on
Fedora C2. So, if you upgrade kernel to latest stable release, i.e., 2.6.10
you might fixed your problem.
What I have currently and with no problem:

My bad, the latest stable release is Linux kernel-2.6.9. Sorry.

[SLUG] 2.6.5 Aironet detection

[Stuart Guthrie]

Hi any hardware heads, I've an intermittent issue with a tinkpad where
some mornings it comes up fine, finds it's eth0/eth1/eth2 and others its
just stuffed.

I fix it by booting into windows then back to linux. Don't ask me why
this works but it does!

I guess I'm asking, who to send this to? It seems a combo of lots of
things, mainly hardware detection gone wrong. It's 2.6.5 kernel, mdk.

I've attached the two dmesg boot start bits. There is an obvious diff
between them:
