If the nic fails to get an address because of a dhcp error, won't initialisation of the interface fail? It's not clear from the posts the exact error message, only that on booting it fails to detect eth0. Is there an error message, or is this conclusion based on the fact that eth0 is not listed in ifconfig output after booting up? I can't find anywhere in my past logs any mention of the term initialize with a case insensitive search for my Realtek 8139 nic. I am now using an SMC USB ethernet device and I don't get initialize messages for it either. If it works in RH8, I really can't see that Mandrake 9.0 is broken to the extent that it wouldn't detect a working nic. Anyway, we won't know until we here more from Greg... By the way, I had some corrupted mail from the beginning of this thread, so I may be missing some vital information. Please forgive me if I am way off track. Regards, John...
