Before removing and inserting the card back: Time out on getting the IP from
the DHCP server.
After:
[root@localhost sforbes]# ifup eth0
Determining IP information for eth0... done.
dhcpcd.exe: interface eth0 has been configured with old IP=192.168.2.100

See above. Also, the light correctly changes from 10mb to `100mb
>what are the logs showing ?
In which log exactly should I look? (yes, newbie question. Didn't see anything
obvios in /etc/logs )
>maybe something causes the network module to unload ?
But even so- why does it not reload properly?
>do "lsmod |grep modulename" in the morning
Wasn't sure about the module name that I was looking for, so I did a general
lsmod:
[root@localhost sforbes]# lsmod
