I tried it, and it didn't work. Here are some notes:
1. I had to edit NetwrokManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher because
they had no levels specified. This suggests to me that there
must be another procedure.
2. I set KDE to allow display of programs on the desktop, which
I had previously blocked.
3. I boot to level 3, and then type startx. It is my guess that
this is not important. It is odd that I did not have to edit
inittab after the installation; it installed that way. I don't
remember selecting any option on this.
4. When I booted after your modifications, it came up with the
wired connection active.
5. When I try to manually activate the wired the connection, I got:
eys-eth1: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
keys-eth1: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
keys-eth1: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
keys-eth1: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
3c501 device eth1:1 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.
Thanks for your help.
Mike.
