G'day all,
I have seen a couple of unresolved references to this driver in
bugzilla and some fixes for older Fedora and kernel versions that don't
reliably work in F16.

Removing and reloading the atl1c module repeatedly will get it working
less than 5% of the time yet when working may stay up for as little as a few
seconds but sometimes for an hour or so. The atl1e driver does not create an
em1 device at all.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?

The situation is:
