Hi.

OS is FC8, all the network cards are netgear.

I am having trouble when booting. PPPD starts and does not
find the card eth0 and gives me the following message

 ppp0: error fetching interface information device not found

This ONLY happens at boot, all other times (i.e. killing
the ADSL link) ppp0 happily reconnects, even if I kill the
card (ifdown eth0).

I know the card is there, the driver is correctly defined in
in modprobe.conf (and modprobe works), the info in ifcfg-eth0
is correct (BTW I tried both onboot=no and onboot=yes), lspci
returns the correct info, I changed the card (fa311tx,fa310tx,ga311),
lsmod returs correct info.

"HWADDR" is correctly defined for ALL cards (so they are not swapped
by the kernel, i know due to the changes in the later kernels there
is a problem if you do not do this).

I changed the order of the network cards (i.e. swapped the physical
location from eth1 to eth0, inclugin name change) that did not make
any difference.



Any ideas anyone?
