Hi Russel, I've had the same problem under RH 6.x and 7.x. What I've found is that the error message comes up because PCMCIA has not been started and so Redhat is trying to bring up a network connection when the system connecting to the network device hasn't been started. Once that has been started, eth0 should work fine. I think you need to check whether PCMCIA services are started by your rc scripts (in /etc/rc.d/rcx.d/ where x is the runlevel - I think 5 is the default, so check in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ first). It doesn't matter whether it is started before or after you try to bring up eth0, but if you don't like the annoying 'error' message, then you will probably have to start PCMCIA before bringing up your network interfaces (you do this by changing the numbers in the name of the startup scripts in /etc/rc.d/rcx.d/ BUT LOOK THIS UP FIRST IF YOU'RE NOT SURE HOW! = ). Hope it helps - please let me know either way. tks. Jin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
