Re: Bug in Fedora?

I installed Fedora 6...everything went fine until it came to
configuring the ethernet connection.
Came an error message acknowledging a bug.

I installed FC4, 6 and 7 without a hitch. I installed at least five versions of RedHat without a hitch except for the first time when I chose to manually configure the ethernet connection. I fixed that by reinstalling and letting the install disk take care of the ethernet configuration.

I sent in a substantiating bug, was told it had been reported, they
knew, and nothing more.

So I skipped back to Fedora 5. No problem with install but I cant get
an internet connection. The configure screen shows eth0 to be
inactive but doesnt respond by changing it. So I humbly go back to XP
which I left on the deck, and send you all this request for
clarification. What gives?

These problems usually appear on new model laptops as they do a lot of non-standard things to get all ten pounds into the sock. It takes time for the software to catch up with it.
