I have installed Linux for the first time and Mdk10 official is the only
version I have ever seen. So, I have never seen any other version.
For 10 you pick Configure Computer/Network & Internet/Manage connections.
At this point a dialog about eth0 is displayed. You can change the IP
address, DHCP, etc. There is a tab 'Options' and it has a check box
labeled 'Network Hotplugging'. I had to uncheck it to fix my problem.
Another use told me you can get the same effect by editing
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and adding/modifing these line
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes
I have no idea what those lines mean or if they work.
