When I couldn't see my follow up posts hitting the list, I figured I'd sign up and post it again. The linked bug entry indicates issues with the driver initializing certain cards etc. As previously stated, my issue was mainly in multicast. I was able to get the machine up and on the network without issue in the 2.6.21 kernel from F7. Though there's obviously issues with the newer Realtek cards and the post 2.6.20 kernels. FYI, The Realtek driver release 1.06 (r1000.ko), although not officially supporting the 2.6 kernel (the Makefile just needed modification) works extremely well for us here. If I can help test experimental patchs or anything, please don't hesitate to let me know. -- Glen Gray Digital Depot, Thomas Street Senior Software Engineer Dublin 8, Ireland Lincor Solutions Ltd.
