Description:

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".

   dmesg iwlagn (0.6 KiB)
   dmesg sky2 (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Did this happen right after the upgrade to the latest kernel? Did you do anything other than reboot?

Please report this to upstream if not already reported. This is the best way to solve these type of issues. Thanks.

Yes, this happen just after the kernel update. I've just done pacman -Syu and reboot. Nothing else.
I will report this to upstream indeed. Thanks for your answers.

Maybe a way to solve this: if I add "pci=use_crs" in the kernel line of grub, it works again. But I don't know why...

Assignation ?

Everything has always worked for me if I downgrade to the previous kernel and never install it again. All other upgrades appear to work just fine, and many problems have gone away.

What is the status with latest kernel?
