all you gotz to do is have eth0 start on startup. I think the option to do
so is in linuxconf, if not
its loaded from /etc/rc.d

(the Aussie arm of Excite@Home) which I cannot get to work via DrakConf -
after stuffing around in drakconf for a couple of hours configuring the
network card (realtek chipset using ne-2k driver module) I gave up trying to
automagically configure the internet connection in drakconf - went to the
shell and ran dhcpcd -h myhostname eth0 and all was up and working.

connecting to the internet via cable modem at system startup? All the FAQs,
NHFs, HOW-TOs etc I've found all suggest different methods, and none of
these work....
