Ethernet card does not work with FC2

[James A. Giseburt]

Good Day!

I also have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600.  As you stated, everything
worked well with FC1.  Not so with FC2.

I am not having your problem with eth0 (the built-in ethernet adapter). 
I do have an alias in /etc/modprobe.conf for that adapter (alias eth0
e100), but other than that it works.

I am also having the problems that you describe with sound.  I haven't
been able to figure that out yet.  I've checked all of the sound
settings that I can find and I'm still looking.  At this point, it would
be nice to hear a simple beep, let alone music or some other audio.

My only other problem is that my Cisco Aironet 350 PC Card doesn't
work.  It worked in FC1, but I haven't been able to get it to work with
FC2.  The system recognizes the card, but I haven't been able to
activate the interface.  I'm stumped at this point.  Other people say
that they have gotten this card to work, but not me.  I've resorted to
an old D-Link card (it pops right up).

Sorry I haven't been of any help, but I just wanted to let you know that
you are not alone.
