Here is my configuration. Laptop Asus A4500d. dmesg shows: eth0: Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter It is working as normal with 2.6.12 and winXP before. Today I did upgrade the kernel to 2.6.13 and it still works. The problem is now I switch to the older kernel that is 2.6.12.5 and .6 it no longer works. dmesg shows like this: eth0: Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter PrefPort:A RlmtMode:Check Link State Boot window XP now, and the link always shows that media disconnected. So the NIC is unuseable with WinXP, 2.6.12 __but__ still works with 2.6.13. and power off the machine does not restore the NIC. Now of course I am forced to use not only linux but version 2.6.13 :-) in order to have the NIC working! Unfortuneately the HSF module with 2.6.13 is not working because of unresolve symbol so the modem is dead (I rarely usemodem anyway) Please help me to recover my NIC back as normal. Thank you very much indeed. If any other information is needed pls ask. Cheers, S.KIEU Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
