Re: Network under Rescue???

[Jonathan Bartlett <johnnyb eskimo com>]

It depends if the kernel module for your ethernet card is already loaded.
Try this:

modprobe eth0
ifconfig eth0 IP.Address.of.interface netmask net.mask.of.interface up
route add default gw your.gateway.ip.address

Thhat should enable IP networking.  If it doesn't, give us the output of

ifconfig -a

and

route -n

Also note that even if the modprobe command above fails, still issue the
other commands.
