The motherboard comes with two onboard network cards, one of them (eth0)
is working ok, the other one (eth2) is not working.

I have removed and added eth2 a couple of times, still no success. I
must admit that I'm quite confused on the mechanisms to get this
working. If I look in:

[root at as1-6-6 root]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist
[...]
alias eth2 forcedeth

and in:

[root at as1-6-6 root]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf.dist 
# default modutils aliases
alias binfmt-204 binfmt_aout
[...]
install eth0 /bin/true
[...]


This was generated by the installation, and I have no idea whether it
makes sense or not.
