My ASUS SK8V MB has a 3Com 3C940 gigabit LAN interface on the MB. I has seen (someplace) that this was known not to work so I plugged in a Linksys NC100 (pciid=1317:0985) which uses the tulip driver.
The Linksys NIC works fine under FC1-i386 (in fact it supported an NFS install).
I am still having problems creating fc1_x86_64 cdroms so I installed taroon-amd64 just to have something. It also seemed to have problems with an NFS install so I copied (under fc1-i386) the iso images to the harddrive and did a harddrive install. OK, taroon-amd64 installed. Bootup and the boot messages indicate that networking was started. However, if you try and do anything (e.g., ifconfig) with the interface, that function hangs (and shutdown hangs closing out the network). There appears to be a problem with the tulip driver in 64 bit mode.
1. Does anyone know of a NIC that does work in 64 bit mode?
2. How do we go about reporting bugs for the fc1_x86_64 preview?

Are you booting with acpi=off? Both NVidia and Via chipsets have issues with acpi, though nvidia is worse in that regard. I ask because before I realised it was ACPI causing the issues, I got the same type deal. Network plumbed, appeared to work, but didnt really.

"What do I do if I run into issues? Please send an email to 64bit_fedora@comcast.net Another method would be to log a ticket with Red Hat Bugzilla, but if you do, please specify x86_64 as the platform, and assign the ticket to 64bit_fedora@comcast.net specifically when you create it."
Thanks, Justin

Okkkk here we go i am downloading and installing fc1 64 as we speak.. i had no problems with the acpi = off thing. But i did update my bios when i installed the board. So... run the bios update in dos NOT via asus autoupdate in windows ASUS themselves say not to use it... all you have to do is boot to dos put the flash disk in that u make and its done simple... :)
