Yesterday I installed Fedora 9 (I was running Fedora 8 before). The machine
has two NICs, one is on the motherboard (and is detected fine), the second
is a D-Link gigabit card. On Fedora 8 both worked flawlessly. In Fedora 9
they both work fine too, except during boot the second card (the D-Link)
does not come up. I have to login and issue "ifup eth1" to get it up.

When I look in /var/log/messages, I see:

Any idea why "device type could not be determined" happens for eth1?
