Open a terminal and become root user.
$ su
and then enter your root password.
Now you have two choices, start konqueror and use the gui file manager, or use
the command line. The command line is faster though, but your choice.
To ise konq, at the root prompt type (watch the capital P)
# kfmclient openProfile filemanagement
Navigate to the directory /etc and right click and delete any file that starts
with dhclient. The navigate to /etc/sysconfig and right click and delete the
network file, then navigate to network-scripts and right click and delete any
ifcfg-eth files.
To use the command line, you use the command 'rm' At your root prompt, type
# rm /etc/dhclient*
and say yes when asked to confirm.
then repeat
# rm /etc/sysconfig/network
and again
# rm /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*

AT your root prompt, type
# vi /etc/modules.conf
then hit the i key to enter insert mode
then move your cursor to the beginning of the line that starts 'alias sis900
ethx' and place a # sign there. hit :wq (means enter command mode, write and
quit) and then enter and you should be back at the prompt.
