re: tlug: compatible NICs

[Dave <ddugay@example.com>]

I used linuxconf to setup the IP address and my gateway, but I dont
think the settings are correct.  Anyway, ifconfig spits out lo, but eth0
doesnt appear.  If I use "ifconfig eth0" I get something like this:

eth0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:80:C6:F8:D7:17
         BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
	 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrrier:0
	 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
	 Interrupt:18 Base address:0xe800


-------- Original Message --------

It sounds like a networking configuration problem if the card is
recognized
at boot time.  (You can double check the boot messages with the 'dmesg'
command.)

As root, the 'ifconfig' command will show you all of the interfaces that
are
configured in your machine.  If eth0 doesn't appear there, you should be
able to use RedHat's "control-panel" application to set up your network
configuration.  (Or, if you prefer doing it by hand, editing the
/etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
files.)
