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.
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:
