I think the problem is that eth0 MUST be initialized before any aliases on that device can be initialized. With the two files you list above the device eth0 is never initialized. It attempts to initialize device eth0:0 twice and fails. Also, this is not a real problem,but is not necessary, for you to add the HWADDR= parameter in the aliases files. If you only have it in one file, and wind up replacing the nic, then you only have to change it one place. If you have it in several files you must change it in EACH of those file when the hardware is replaced. > > And now some command output: > > > root@fantasia 13:54 network-scripts#service network start > Bringing up loopback interface: SIOCGIFXQLEN: No such device > SIOCGIFXQLEN: No such device > eth0:0: error fetching interface information: Device not found > [ OK ] > Bringing up interface eth0: SIOCGIFXQLEN: No such device > SIOCGIFXQLEN: No such device > SIOCGIFXQLEN: No such device > SIOCGIFXQLEN: No such device > Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) : > SET failed on device eth0:0 ; No such device. > SIOCGIFFLAGS: No such device > Failed to bring up eth0:0. > [FAILED] > root@fantasia 13:54 network-scripts#ifconfig -a > eth0:0: error fetching interface information: Device not found > root@fantasia 13:54 network-scripts#iwconfig > lo no wireless extensions. > > sit0 no wireless extensions. > > eth0:0 No such device > > root@fantasia 13:55 network-scripts#service network stop > Shutting down loopback interface: [ OK ] > root@fantasia 13:57 network-scripts#ifconfig eth0 > eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found > root@fantasia 13:57 network-scripts#rmmod r8169 > root@fantasia 13:57 network-scripts#ifconfig eth0 > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:6C:2B:33:92 > BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > Interrupt:169 Base address:0x8000 > > root@fantasia 13:57 network-scripts# > > > Thanks for your help. > > Janina > > > -- > > rob andrews :: pgp 0xb35ff721 :: rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > -- > > fedora-list mailing list > > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > > -- > > Janina Sajka Phone: +1.240.715.1272 > Partner, Capital Accessibility LLC http://CapitalAccessibility.Com > > Marketing the Owasys 22C talking screenless cell phone in the U.S. and Canada--Go to http://ScreenlessPhone.Com to learn more. > > Chair, Accessibility Workgroup Free Standards Group (FSG) > janina@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://a11y.org >
