hmm, I am not sure which motherboard I had that problem with. Will have
to check at work on Monday.
When you try to configure the network card do you see it and/or get any
errors?
I tried running ./network start from /etc/init.d and I get the messages
about starting the loopback interface and starting the eth0 interface but it
seems that eth0 does not start since when I do a ./network stop there is
only a message about stopping the loopback interface.
You may want to disable IPv6 entirely, I doubt you need it at this
point. It should not be causing you any problems but it is one less
thing to worry about.
I have tried adding NETWORKING_IPV6=no to my /etc/sysconfig/network but I
get the same result.
And the plug and play issue may not be the problem with your particular
motherboard.
Start by trying to add your network interface manually to see if you can
get the system to see it at all. Report back any error messages you
get.
When I try /sbin/ifup eth0 it returns with no messages but the interface is
not there. I did some looking around and the last line it executes before
returning is
modprobe -c | awk "/^(alias|install)[[:space:]]+$1[[:space:]]/ {print
\\$3 }"'
which is from the is_available() function which is called just after the
comment "Now check the real state" in /sbin/ifup.
