    Hi,

    I'm running Fedora 7 and just installed the latest kernel (2.6.22.1-33.fc7). The et131x driver compiles without problems, but it doesn't work anymore. When starting my machine, the network is started and trying to get an IP address from DHCP, but it never returns. I had to disable the card in interactive startup mode to be able to log in.

    I tried starting the driver again, here's the output:

    [nils@shnelly ~]$ sudo /sbin/dhclient -1 eth1

    ip length 328 disagrees with bytes received 332.
    accepting packet with data after udp payload.
    DHCPOFFER from 192.168.1.1

    After that it never returned and I had to kill the process.

    Anybody know what's going on? Help?

    Thanks,

    Nils
