I removed an unused pci card from my PC. After I restarted it, eth0 was dead. (no I didn't remove my network card ;-) ) The network card is built into the motherboard. Using another computer, I have verified that the port on the router and the cable are both good. Does anybody have any ideas what I could try next?
