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? jobst -- Egotism is pain, and the only way to end it is to cease to believe that the world revolves around one's petty life. | |0| | Jobst Schmalenbach, [EMAIL PROTECTED], General Manager | | |0| Barrett Consulting Group P/L & The Meditation Room P/L |0|0|0| +61 3 9532 7677, POBox 277, Caulfield South, 3162, Australia -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
