Re: [CentOS] System drops off network after a few minutes

I have an Intel SE7525RP2 motherboard with a Yukon Marvel (82541GB controller) NIC in it. After installing CentOS 5.1 it functions fine for some minutes then looses network connectivity. By coincidence, I was using the system to clean some HD's for another and had booted off Knoppix and noticed it never exhibited this behavior, the network remained functional even overnight when I returned to the system?

I looked through messages and didn't see anything NIC/network related, can anyone suggest something to check?

Thanks! jlc

Also it might help to do an modinfo of the actual module that is used to drive the NIC and see what the version is on both OSes.
