<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ever since I upgraded my RH7.3 box to Fedora Core
2, I have not been able to use my network card. It seems something in my setup
thinks I want IPv6 instead of IPv4. During the boot process, I get a message
saying that eth0 is started but when I do an 'ifconfig -a ', all I have is a
sit0 device and no eth0.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My ethernet card is a Netgear FA311 and the kernel release is
2.6.5-1.358</DIV>

know. Here are some of them</DIV>

<DIV>kernel: IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The only thing that look at all suspect to me are the mention of the 2.4.x
kernel driver and the IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does this mean that someting in the kernel is set
to use only IPv6?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I boot from the CD in rescue mode and answer Yes
when asked if I want to start the network, eth0 is configured but when I boot
normally I always get sit0. I have tried setting NETWORKING_IPV6=NO in
/etc/sysconfig/network and even tried renaming all the IPV6 related files in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to no avail.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help would be appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
