What type of cable are you using...Cat5, Cat5e or Cat 6? Cat 5e is the
minimum
recommended for gigabit and Cat 6 is preferred. Standard Cat 5 is iffy at
that speed.

Subject: fc2 - network restart fails - e1000 / Extreme Network Switch
I'm using machines with Intel GB NIC (Supermicro 6013P-T and
Dell 1600sc - both with e1000 drivers). The OS is fc2 release
(I've tried updating the kernel to 2.6.6-1-535 and saw the
same symptoms).
If I connect to an Extreme Network GB Switch (summit 400-48t)
and issue a "service network restart" command, it works every
other time (and fails every other time) - consistently.
When it fails, I get the following message: "Determining ip
information for eth0... failed: no link present. Check cable?"
If I do a sequence of "service network stop" and "service network
start", it works every time.
I have not seen this with a Netgear unmanaged switch (haven't
tried others).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe Robertson
