I've not read all the thread, so disregard if this is already covered. Too busy at the moment.

A simple but rough way to solve this may be to blacklist the ipw2200 module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then modprobe it in a local or startup script later in the boot process. That way the Broadcom module will load first. I don't use fedora, but in Slackware I would use the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script. This may not be the purest method for your distribution but it will work.

As you know, if you assign static addresses and you are behind a router, you will need to assign a gateway address.

Just a thought. udev should automagically create a network interface rule. You can manipulate the rules applicable to your interfaces to ensure the correct allocation, possibly using the == operator to ensure that regardless eth0 remains that way and so on.

Hi,

I have put 192.168.0.1 as the default gateway.

Setya

are you sure 192.168.0.1 is your default gateway ?
well.. if your ethernet is having valid IP default gateway is fine ..why you arnt able to ping ?..
recheck ifconfig eth0.

how do you connected to internet dsl modem ? or what ?
if dsl are you able to see your modem web config by typing 192.168.0.1 in web browser ?..

This has been my problem for quite sometime.

Right now, I'm typing from WinXP.

I already assign 192.168.0.107 as the static IP.

I suspect it's the ethernet card, since I've heard that Broadcom does not make friend with Linux.

I have tried switching to bcm5700 driver instead of RedHat's tg3 ethernet driver with no luck. Have tried ndiswrapper with no luck. Have tried OpenSuse 10.2, Kubuntu 7.04 and now Fedora 7 with no luck.

You can ask me issue any networking command as you want.


Thanks a lot for your help so far.
