Below are networking related problems i encountered after upgrading my laptop from 8.0 to 9: * pcmcia was configured wrongly by the installer, i fixed that by editing /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. *neat Now the biggest problem is neat, it is totally broken in redhat 9. I have had problems with neat in the past but the problems were easily detectable and fixed by editing the various networking scripts. /etc/syconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/*/ifcfg* /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg* In redhat 9 i am not able to fix that and it is a big problem and major inconvenience because i use 9 different profiles. The problems i am having is that at boot the wrong modules are being loaded and when i access neat to configure networking i get error that eth0 has orinoco_cs loaded instead of 3c59x which is specified in /etc/modules.conf and most neat networking functionality is broken at that point..It doesn't allow to do anything other than delete the devices. I tried to trace the bug but wasn't able to find it. So i have to do the following every time I change my network settings. ifdown eth0 modprobe -d orinoco_cs modprobe -all edit the various scripts depending on my current network setup. or just use iwconfig to start eth1 ifup eth0 ifup eth1 dhcclient Has anyone encountered these problems? my /etc/modules.conf has the following for the network interfaces alias eth0 3c59x alias eth1 orinoco_cs Regards, -- Nadeem Bitar <nadiizu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
