hello all...
having trouble with the networking on this box. ethernet controller is the Broadcom NetXtremeII 5708. i am running fedora core 6 (fresh install) (kernel 2.6.20x). if i reboot the machine the network interface stops functioning. i am able to restart the network service once the machine has booted and things seem to be back to normal.
here are a few things i have noticed... during reboot, the interface is actually ping-able for a short period and then goes down again. from the dmesg log, i can see the following:
Code:
...

bnx2 is the broadcom driver that seems to be up for a short period and down again.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
