           Summary: [2.6.31] Network interfaces are dead with 2.6.31

Rafael, this is a 2.6.30->2.6.31 regression.

          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline

          Severity: high
          Priority: P1

        ReportedBy: orion.linbug@gmail.com
        Regression: Yes


My wireless and ethernet networks are dead with the kernel 2.6.31. All work
very fine with the 2.6.30 and older. I have a Toshiba laptop wich uses the
iwlagn module for wireless and the sky2 for ethernet. I have tested with
acpi=off in the grub kernel line but it freezes the system on boot...
ifconfig gets only the lo interface. ifconfig eth0 or wlan0 up gets something
like "the interface doesn't exist".

Given that both the wired and wireless interfaces failed, I'd assume
that something went wrong at the bus level.  Perhaps due to an ACPI
change.

Could the sky2, iwlagn and ACPI developers please take a look, offer an
opinion as to where we should be looking?

Thanks.
