Thanks to several tips I found my problem. Turning off 'Network
Hotplugging' in MCC networking fixed it. One poster mentioned you
could get the same effect by setting MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
The clues were in the /var/log/message. I found this tid-bit in mine:
network: Setting network parameters: succeeded
network: Bringing up loopback interface: succeeded
ifplugd(eth0)[681]: ifplugd 0.21b initializing.
ifplugd(eth0)[681]: Using interface eth0/00:E0:4B:04:3D:17 with
driver <dmfe> (version: 1.36.4)
ifplugd(eth0)[681]: Failed to detect plug status of eth0
ifplugd(eth0)[681]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action eth0 up'.
dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 192.168.0.23
dhclient: DHCPACK from 192.168.0.23
ifplugd(eth0)[681]: client: Determining IP information for eth0... done.
ifplugd(eth0)[681]: Program executed successfully.
ifplugd(eth0)[681]: Exiting.
network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed
It looks like 'ifplugd' can't see the link so a failure is noted, even
though the 'ifup eth0' worked.
Cheers...David
