I love realtek - the resources they use tend not to conflict with other cards or hardware, they don't use much cpu time, the drivers are mature, and they don't cost much. What could be better? There does seem to be at least one onboard realtek chipset that can have driver issues, but I use the

I like your analogy David... rock is too small to be turned around now I think you put it in the right context. It is always a good idea to check on dmesg upon boot and make sure those modules are loaded as David mentioned. Try to start from the beginning to troubleshoot the problem. Tow cents.

Thank you for the discrimination, but it's not appreciated. This is not a multi-million dollar enterprise cluster, so please don't see it as such. It's an in-house development server and really doesn't justify thousands of dollars' worth of hardware. The NIC was working fine for about 2 years

Rudi, Sounds like a module conflict/misconfiguration, but anyway glad its working back. have you upgrade this system with the latest kernel build. I am guessing both onboard NICs are the same brand, take a look at messages and see if the card give me problems in the future. make sure you look

Hey, If it happens again, or maybe it might show in /var/log/messages, if there was a MAC address conflict in the ifcfg files. I've seen where eth0 won't come on as the MAC address set in the cfg file wasnt matching. Some times it fails with a message on an ifdown ifup, sometimes it doesn't.
