By the way, can you think of a reason why Broadcast Appliance doesn't support an Ethernet NIC that Centos 5.5 LiveCD does?
The OS that is on the appliance CD does not have drivers for some on board NIC. This is no fault of Rivendell after lot of ferreting this is the solution thanks to ELRepo.org console su /sbin/lspci To select the correct driver package for your hardware, please follow the example below (shown for an Ethernet controller): [user@elrepo]$ /sbin/lspci | grep -i net 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 01) [user@elrepo]$ /sbin/lspci -n | grep '04:00.0' 04:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 01) Searching for the Vendor:Device ID pairing of 10ec:8168 on the DeviceIDs page will show that kmod-r8168 should work with this Ethernet controller. http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs Then you go to http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/x86_64/RPMS/ to get the rpm rpm -Uvh you my need to install http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el5/x86_64/RPMS/module-init-tools-3.3-0.pre3.1.60.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm in order to be able to install the driver rpm My system found the card and had it configured the moment it was installed. I have done this a couple of times now.
