Hi Shiv,
Use lspci to know the PCI card inserted in
the system. If it found there, then check using ifconfig. Using ifconfig also
not displayed then assigns an IP address and netmask to your card using
ifconfig only. After this use the following command to start the service.
#service network restart.

Subject: How to know Network
Interface Name
Hi,
I have Intel 915 Motherboard with onboard Network Card (Intel PRO 10/100 VE
Network Connection).
I installed Redhat 9 ( Kernel 2.4.20-8) successfully..
Now when I say
#ifconfig eth0 up
I get an error unknown device: eth0..
How do I know what interface name is assigned ??
& before that, how do I know whether the card is detected & configured
properly ???
I checked for dmesg output , but did not see any "eth" related
entry...
Thanks in advance..
Shiv
