Mark, 

Would that I could. 

With the network interfaces down, my only access to the Linux system is via the 
HMC.  And we had a UPS fail last night (physically, some part went out), and 
the HMC is 'Toast' at the present time.  At this time, the CE is not sure what 
he will have to do to fix it.  He mentioned something about having to reload 
it, or maybe replace the  System board, or maybe replace the HMC? 

However, as soon as the HMC comes back up, I'll run your commands, and send on 
the output.  Hmm,  I don't think the HMC has 'Cut & Paste'...

Send me the output from the following commands (off-list please):
lsmod
hwinfo
ifconfig -a
grep . /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw
ls -lR /sys/devices/qeth/

Also, what happens when you "modprobe qeth" and "dmesg | tail -n 30" ?
