Also, while you're there, verify that the lights on the switch are what you expect.

Acts like driver interrupts are not working properly. Switch lights look correct, but could not find information on for the second light on the interface card. I'm returning the card. Oddly PCI Express cards for network interfaces are non existent locally. Plenty of the older PCI cards.

Broken network hdw/softw
After power cycle on system the line drivers for the network interface seemed to die, no link connection and no light. This is a mother board interface and dmesg still shows hardware discovery. Bought a PCI Express card and installed it. Then modified the mac address in the /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg- file. Still no joy. Noticed that the dev name changed so I move the file to match the new dev name and edited the device name in the file. Still no joy. Was only able to ping the interface ip address. Next I modified the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to not use dns. Then I can ping the host name and localhost. Disabled IPV6 as it seemed to becausing problems, probably something to do with the auto generated address, just a guess. Checked netstat -r and it is correct. Network still does not work. Not able to ping to another system on the local link. If I try an ip link show it wedges the system. I get messages about CPU's stalling. This initially had me thinking something else was wrong with the mother board but after sever more hours of investigation the system seems fine except for the lack of a functioning network link. I'm wondering if at some level, it is still trying to access the failed interface since it is known by the hardware discovery. There is no BIOS setting to disable the interface. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
