Following are my settings in netconf.
I did not set any of them manually. They were all done during the
installation process in
the Network Connection section.
Host name and network devices
Host name and domain..localhost.localdomain
Adapter1
enabled
Config mode.......DHCP
Netmask...........255.255.255.0
Net device........eth0
Kernel mode.......tulip
Name server
DNS required
IP #1.......192.168.0.1
Search #1...localdomain
That's it.
I know nothing about your card but if it is PCI you may want to # cat
