Hello,

I upgrade a fc13 to fc14 and I lost the network connection.
I I retried the install from fresh and try to connect to the
internet but it failed.
I tried to set the configuration manually (ie. not using the
DHCP), but I ended with the same result.
It can ping on itself (ie. with the address that I gave, which is
the machine address when I run fc11), but no way to ping the
Gateway or the nameserver.

ifconfig seems OK.

It looks like that there is a bug with the driver !!!
The card in an Intel 82566DM Gigabit Network.

Which additional test can I make ?
the network connection is working fine in fc11 and fc13

Work around, it seems that it is a know bug 649570
So I should either set ACPI=off or recompile the modules e1000e.ko

Should I set ACPI=off in /etc/grub.conf ?
in the kernel line ?
Can I try from the installation DVD ? if Yes how ?

How can I recompile only the module e1000e.ko ?
cd /usr/src/kernels/2....../drivers/net/e1000e and make ?
After editing something ?

Thank.
