Edit as root: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* where * is the card you're working on. Although it has nothing to do with the module you are talking about, you can verify your network settings are correct. Have you done an lsmod to ensure that you have loaded the module correctly? Here is what my ifcfg-eth1 looks like: DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.10.50.4 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.10.50.0 BROADCAST=10.10.50.255 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="" Bill -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA+asqzHeHGYMT3rQRAkh4AKD1KMqd4A6Dr9P/VBe3F7JMCKPrjgCeP/O9 BKKO21jFnhtVqsokxXpcdns= =bJUB -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
