Re: no network cards

["micheal worden" <rioguia1976 hotmail com>]

you will probably do better when you are asking a question to provide more 
specific information.

In this case you need to provide the following:
1. the make of your pc and the exact make and model of your cards (e.g. are 
they supported by redat?  see
http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/?pagename=hcl&view=allhardware#form  OR
http://www.scyld.com/network/index.html

2.  complete error messages o, alternatively,r open a terminal as root and 
post the output from the following:

a. ifconfig -a (this should list all your network interfaces whether they 
are up or down)
b. lspci |less (to see if your card has been assigned a resource)
c. lsmod (to see if your network driver shows up in the list of loaded 
modules)

3.  if you found that your cards are supported, you can ask linux specific 
questions about your modules

a. locate YOUR MODULE NAME HERE

4. and direct llinux to install the module

a. insmod YOUR MODULE NAME HERE
OR
b. modprobe YOUR MODULE NAME HERE

5.  If these fail and you think that 2.a above suggests that assignment of 
an IRQ  is necessary:

a. insmod YOUR MODULE NAME HERE irq=N  //where N=an IRQ known to be 
available
OR
b. modprobe YOUR MODULE NAME HERE irq=N  //where N=an IRQ known to be 
available
