I have a dual boot with WinXP and Fedora Core 2 and spend 99% of my time in FC2. Once in a while I shut the system down. When I boot from a cold boot right into FC2, the forcedeth driver appears not to work. I am not able to get to the net over my cable mode. Bringing eth0 up and down, unplugging the network cable does nothing. However, if I reboot into WinXP, and then reboot right away back into FC2, the forcedeth driver works like a champ. Is there anything I can do to look into what might be causing this issue? Any more information I may be able to send to help? Thanks for any help, -- James Drabb Senior Programmer Davenport, FL USA
