I got a warning saying: unregister_netdevice : waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count =28 then I had to reboot the laptop. I partially solved the problem, I borrowed a PCMCIA ethernet 3COM card from a colleague, configured it then I finally have internet connection. After the PCMCIA card is configured as eth1 and working, I can configure the normal eth0, then everything is apparently fine... however, when I reboot the laptop I cannot longer use the eth0... then I have (again) to use the PCMCIA... BTW: does not matter I use the "SAVE" option of "redhat-config-network", it does not keep the last configuration, and is alsways showing eth0 (ethernet card), eth1 (PCMCIA), eth2 (xDSL) and eth3 (wireless connection).... I also tried to delete all them and only configure my eth0, but does not work.... merciful ! I think it is a problem with the driver (e100 ?), but I am not an expert, could you please kindly provide any instruction to download the needed source drivers then how to recompile and install into my laptop (Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600)... (redhat-config-network recognize my ethernet card as "82801BA/BAM/CA/CAM Ethernet Controller") I think that might be the easiest/effective way to finally have any internet connection.
