Hi,

Since I updated the kernel on my Dell Inspiron 8600 notebook running FC6 to release 2.6.22.1-15.fc6, my wired network card, a BroadCom BCM4401 100Base-T, is no longer found. Under previous kernel, which I still have installed, it finds this card and configures eth0 to use it. There's also a wireless card but I haven't had the time to get it working since upgrading from FC3 to FC6. It was using ndiswrapper and configured for device wlan0 before, but it seems like that might no longer be necessary. Anyway, there is no wireless service where I am and my wired card is not detected. Since it is not in the hardware list in the network configuration utility, I cannot configure it manually. How can I make FC6 detect my card?

Any assistance with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

First as root in a terminal type lspci and from the list should be your Ethernet card. Write down what it is called. It is kind of ODD that FC6 didn't auto-detect your ethernet thing. My old ethernet is always picked up. If you don't find it in the lspci list then your in for replacing the ethernet hardware.

Karl


lspci lists both wireless and wired cards:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01)
02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)

In the configuration tool, however, the device listed as eth0 type ethernet has the wireless (802.11 a/b/g) card selected and no way to change it to the other card.

Any other thoughts?
Yes your ethernet card is the Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 and there is no reason that it should not be at your network tab that lists hardware. If it isn't there it is a broken hardware. If it is there click to have it selected and on the first tab make it active.

Karl
I'm not sure I understand 'broken hardware'. It is found under when running under one kernel, but not found when running under a newer kernel. Wouldn't that indicate a broken kernel?
