Hello Francois, after having some issues with networking on Fedora 10 I was given your name to provide some data to. See this fedora forum post :http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=205609 I hope you'll be able to get to the bottom of this failure. I have attached the information suggested in the above post, plus some further information. In a nutshell, on my hardware the network is unusable after bootup, until the user crashes the r8169 module by timing out a hostname lookup. I have included the repeatable crash testcase in the attached file. I believe that simply removing the module and modprobing it back in again after bootup also delivers a working network without the oops. Let me know if you need any further information, or want me to test further. Regards Dale
