On installation, RH7.1 correctly detects the 3c59X network card and installs support for it, that is, a line for "eth0" with "3c59X" is entered in /etc/modules.conf, and the module is dynamically loaded at boot time. So the networking utilities function normally until a few minutes later when "eth0" support is dynamically unloaded, and I lose network connectivity. Running "ifconfig" shows that only "lo" networking is available. So I run "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start", and I get network connectivity back to work. A few minutes later, "eth0" support is again unloaded, and so on. Why does RedHat7.1 work this way? Why oh why? (By the way, AdmuLinux so is much better!). If only I am not forced to use RH7.1. Question 2: What option on the "eth0" line in /etc/modules.conf will make the module "stay permanently" in memory? Please do not give me the answer "man modprobe" or anything similar, since I am now using a Windows box at eStation on Suntec City and my next access to a Linux box will not come until 36 hours from now. I need to know the answer now, please. Thanks. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
