Yes there are many ways, if i remember correctly you use redhat,
unfortunalty i dont have a redhat system handy to look at, but to give you
a pointer.
Take a look in /etc/sysconfig/network
i seem to remeber something about dhcp in that file, quite possable
DHCP=false
i belive was the default, changing that to 'true' should be enough, i must
point out that i could be wrong here and there is more to do, i cant quite
remember.
Anyway simply doing the following will work on all systems altho' it is NOT
optimal.
Put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local perferably at the top of the file.
modprobe rtl81391 # Just in case its needed.
ifconfig eth0 127.0.0.1 up
/sbin/dhcpcd
That should do it, i am sure someone else will be ale to tell you in which
scripts to do it on a redhat system. But at least it will get it going for
you at the minute.
