While one of my students is reinstalling RedHat to attempt to get our eth0
card to boot, Marsha and I have been rereading documentation.  We are
concerned about the internal net versus external net business.  [Replacing
the NIC didn't work.  Our eth1 card is a different model and having no
trouble, but we don't have extras of that one just lying around.]

Our setup:  External net is on eth1 and is a campus Ethernet.  Internal net
is on eth0 connected directly to a Cisco 1538 Micro Hub [which we were told
is actually an intelligent crossbar FastEthernet switch].  In the
installation documentation for Oscar 1.2.1rh72 section 5.1.4 and Oscar 1.3b4
section 6.1.4 the examples given put the NICs in the other order, with eth1
being internal network.  Then in all the later sections and the screen shots
everything shows eth0.

Is Oscar being installed on the client nodes using the *external* network???

I would also feel more comfortable if I could get the netcfg utility from
somewhere.  The two different utilities I found [netconfig and
redhat-config-network] do not have all the options that the Oscar
documentation says we need to set.  It's possible that running netconfig
messed up some settings from the RedHat installation which did allow us to
do things like set the IP address.
