I am having a weird network problem I cannot figure out. Hopefully the fix is simple. I have a brand new fresh install of RedHat 6.2. When going through the setup I was NOT asked about setting up a network. I guess it could not detect that I had a network card installed... but I do. I was hoping kudzu would detect it at boot time, but it did not. I went through linuxconf to set up eth0 and everything looked fine. I rebooted, and nothing came up. I recieved a message that said something like 'bringing up eth0 : Delaying initialization of eth0' or something similar to that. If I manually load the module with the following: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/3c509.o' the module will load. Then I type '/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart' I get exactly the following: 'Bringing up interace eth0 eth0: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses.' At this point ifconfig shows that eth0 is running, and the card seems to function normally. When I reboot, all is lost and I need to go through all of this again. I am getting the feeling that somehow an 'alias' (I think that is what it is called -- meaning two IP addresses for one interface) for eth0 may be set up. If that is the case, I must have inadvertently done that when trying to set up the card the first time. This isn't what I want. Question: What do I have to do to get this card to funtion properly at boot time without having to throw a bunch of commands into my rc.local file?
