After fighting with For 9 months I am exhausted. I had to get the sound card to be recognized, to get the machine to shutoff when I shut it down, etc it has finally almost defeated me. It has worked for 6 months or more but suddenly during a yum update last week the network slowed down to a crawl. I did not update anything for awhile but now to use the web browser to load the web page of the local lan's router takes maybe 5 minutes if it loads at all.
I can ping the router with out problem but yum actions just slow to a halt, going to an external web page is impossible.
The resolv.conf has not changed, neither has the hosts file. Right now I am stumped any other suggestions out there.
Since I am heavy into F7 I am the point of thinking of giving the machine to Goodwill. Any help would be appreciated. -- Aaron Konstam
Aaron,
I may be having a similar experience shutting down FC6 on a Thinkpad. My workaround has been to stop my 3com wireless card (Atheros) and nfs service before doing an init 0. Why? I haven't a clue. can you access. I'm hoping F7 doesn't have this problem.

Thw halting is no longer a problem but the fact that no application can communicate to and from the machine at a tolerable rate is a problem. If you can't load the web page of the router the machine is wired directly to what can you access and it is getting worse.
