Phil, I've had the same problem from RH8-FC1 with a few NICS. Same thing, fine net install, but the nic isn't there on reboot. On your next boot, just drop to a terminal and (as root) check for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 if it's not there, then: netconfig eth0 set to dhcp, save, and restart networking (service network restart) and reboot to check to see if that worked. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Savoie <psavoie1783@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 10:34:26 -0500 To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: PCMCIA Recognition > Hi All, > > Awhile back I had asked this question and didn't really recieve any response > that I can remember.
