Problems getting Intel Pro/1000 NIC to work

[Andreas Wideroe Andersen <awand pragma no>]

Hi all,
I've been trying to get the Intel Pro/1000 (82546) NIC to work on a 
freshly installed Red Hat box without success. First I tried Red Hat 
7.3, but ended up installing 8.0 instead. Now the driver is 
recognized and ifconfig says up, however I'm not able to ping or 
trace anywhere.

The server is set up with a static IP address and is connected 
directly to a 100Mbps switch. I've tried both the e1000 driver 
supplied with Red Hat and the latest Intel driver from 
www.intel.com. All says UP, but it's not working. The card is 
installed with the default parameters (Auto) and so on.

Any information is most welcome!

Thanks,
Andreas
