Ethernet : NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express module:tg3

the problem is that my ethernet works only when i boot into the Arch Linux Fallback, in the normal boot it doesn't work.

ifconfig eth0 shows the usual data, like Bcast, Mask, inet addr, etc, etc,
but ifconfig eth0 up shows
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory.

also while boot up it shows starting network and then SIOCSIFFLAGS error............and once again while shutdown

/etc/rc.d/network restart shows

Stopping Network
SIOCDELRT: No such process

Starting Network
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

Re: Ethernet working only in fallback !

The only difference between the fallback and the usual boot is that initcpio might contain different modules (that's the phase after kernel loads and before the "init" messages start to appear). The differences are created if you edit the hooks/modules in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. Have a look there. After you edit the file, you should regenerate the images via '/sbin/mkinitcpio -p kernel26' as root.
