I had seen this thread from a previous archive, and had a follow on question.. I am running a HPdl380 with 2 onboard nics, and a quad ethernet card which according to kudzu is an intel chipset (using e100 driver 3.3). Boot seems to get the card fine, but when you try to assign an address to it and bring the interface up, you get a SIOCCFFLAGS: Connection timed out. Anyone seen this error? googling didnt turn up much except orinoco config details, and nothing relating to config of card. Bad driver? bad card? Aloha Kal Greetings, I can't recreate the configuration of network interfaces after a FC1 install. eth0 (built-in) has been identified and configured correctly. However, eth1 (built-in) and eth2-5 (a 4-port card) are a mess. Kudzu doesn't detect everything properly at boot time. Furthermore, despite deleting all devices (via the GUI config tool), /etc/sysconfig/hwconf still lists eth4 and eth5. Yet, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts lists only eth0 and lo (good), and /etc/modules.conf lists only eth0 (good). What gives? What I want to be able to do is to keep the config for eth0 and start fresh with eth1-5. For example, first I'd configure eth1 and test. Then, I'd try to configure the 4-port card (eth2-5). Still very new to linux administration, I've been struggling to find a good resource on how to accomplish my goal. I would greatly appreciate any pointers on the proper way to tell FC1 exactly what I want the details (card, driver, assigned to ethX, etc.) of the remaining interfaces to be.
