I've just installed FC4 in hopes of following the Fedora myth(TV)ology HOWTO

When I first booted, everything, including my D-Link Gigabit NIC, was detected and worked properly.

I then followed one of the first steps in the HOWTO: "yum upgrade"

and ended up with `uname -r` of 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4

Now my NIC is only partially set up. During boot I get:
"sk98lin device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization"

but "kudzu -p" gives me

"
class: NETWORK
bus: PCI
detached: 0
device: eth0
driver: sk98lin
desc: "D-Link System Inc Gigabit Ethernet Adapter"
vendorID: 1186
deviceID: 4c00
subVendorID: 1186
subDeviceID: 4c00
pciType: 1
pcidom: 0
pcibus: 0
pcidev: d
pcifn: 0
"

doesn't that mean the card is partially detected?

"ifconfig eth0 up" gives me:
"eth0: unknown interface: No such device"

If I run Network Configuration in KDE, eth0 is listed as inactive. If I try to Activate I get "sk98lin device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization" again...

So, I'd like to get this NIC working again but I do have alternatives... I'm just trying to get MythTV working. I've tried KnoppMyth, Ubuntu 5.10, Pluto, and now FC. The farthest I've gotten was with Ubuntu. MythTV worked until I tried to change channels then it would hang... Anyway, general suggestions about MythTV are welcome too =)

Any help would be awesome.

I'm using an ethernet that uses the sk98lin driver as well, on a fully updated FC4 (no problems). Some things to check:

Is the driver getting loaded?

lsmod | grep sk

Does /etc/modprobe.conf have an alias/options:

alias eth0 sk98lin
options sk98lin Moderation=Dynamic

If not, is there an error in dmesg or /var/log/messages relating to the card?

What is the output of lspci?

I think something happened to the card while (or at the same time as) my "upgrade". It's not working in my other computer either (no link light) =(

I'll return it for another one (it's brand new). For now I'm back to 10/100. I'll reply again when I get the replacement.

Thanks
