[lug] RHEL6 USB and network issue

[Steven Hart]

Motherboard = Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
OS = RHEL 6 workstation 64 bit

PROBLEM 1:  When I have the USB keyboard and mouse plugged into any USB2 
port, they do not work and RHEL6 says:

device descriptor read/64, error -32

When I plug the keyboard into the USB3 slot, it works normally.  I need 
the USB2 ports to work.  I get the same thing when I try a USB flash 
drive as well.

PROBLEM 2: I can't get the on-board NIC to work.  I have the network 
settings set manually and correctly as they work on my other 55 RHEL6 
clients for my subnet.  ifconfig shows the correct IP but no packets 
visible.  ethtool sees a link connected, that it's gig speed, and that 
it's full duplex.  That being said, you can't ping the system and the 
system can't ping out.

I usually have very good luck with Gigabyte motherboards right out of 
the box with RHEL6 but this one is pissing me off.  I have a feeling 
it's a setting in the BIOS but I've tried the optimized defaults as well 
as just using the legacy settings instead of the UEFI settings.

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Steve
