My SWAG, for some reason, you are not renewing your dhcp lease in
the modem. You might root around in the modems web page and see what
you can see.

I can regain my connection by rebooting Fedora. I've not been able to regain my Internet connection without a reboot (e.g. "service network restart" hangs).

Now that is odd, I would have thought it would not matter unless your fedora
firewall gets in the way.

Would you dump your network settings for us to look at.

Bit Twister: Your script dump_net.txt Ver 3.4 appears to have some problems with respect to Fedora. I'd like to repair my copy of it. I have zero experience with bash scripting.

I posted to this thread my output yesterday in a rush. Sorry about posting all of that garbage which was intended to be some of my networking scripts.

Here are some of the problems I've noticed.

1. The script is intended to post /etc/sysconfig/networks-scripts/ifdown.d and ifup.d.

Red Hat Fedora uses different names for those scripts.

Are you looking for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-eth and ifup-eth?

2. The output of mii-tool was truncated. Then the script dumped dmesg without printing the comment line. It also appears that possibly the dmesg contents were dumped more than once. (There was an enormous amount of output)

3. Ethtool is installed on my system. The script source invokes ethtool. There was no ethtool output in the results.
