Unfortunately, I'm unable to use the nvidia interface. I edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* appropriately but for some strange reason the nvidia interface is just not working (now, worked two days ago). If I switch to the sky2 interface it works just fine so it's not a network/cable problem. I'm starting to suspect a motherboard hardware failure. As far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong) I'd only have to change the ifcfg-eth* scripts to change the interface configuration. The specific interface name (eth0, eth1 e.t.c) is determined by aliases in /etc/modprobe.conf. Correct? I did this but the nVidia interface is not working. It comes up and shows activity (Rx/Tx counters increase) but I cannot ping any host on my network. Moving the cable / configuration back to the sky2 interface and everything works (except, the sky2 driver problem) Any ideas why the nVidia interface comes up but I cannot ping any hosts? Thanks, -Brian
