Netwrok Card not beig recognised after netwrok installation.

[Guruwannabe]

Hi Gang,

I just done a network installation for redhat 7.2 but it does not recognize the ethernet card (i82557). I tried ifconfig eth0 and it said something to the equivalent "etho interface not found". I did enter all the correct info for the network.
Can anybody suggest a remedy. Cheers.

Hi,



If it looks like the correct config is in the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, then you can probably just restart the network (as root) :



/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart



That assumes the device is recognised on the PCI bus ('cat /proc/pci' ) and the correct module is aliased to eth0 in /etc/modules.conf .



Regards
