I just installed RH 7.1 on a HP Brio with a PCI 10/100 network card. It
ran previously RH 6.2 and in it the card worked fine with the pcnet32 driver
with the same settings in modules.conf as I have now. My 7.1 install is from
the clean table. Network does not work anymore :(
Here's what dmesg tells me:
--snip--
pcnet32_probe_pci: found device 0x001022.0x002000

lsmod tells me that pcnet32 module is unused:
--snip--
pcnet32 12048 0 (autoclean) (unused)
--snip--
My modules.conf:
--snip--
alias eth0 pcnet32
--snip--
My network settings:
--snip--
[root@jolo /root]# less /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=jolo
--snip--
--snip--
[root@jolo /root]# less /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.12
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.0.253
--snip--
I tried restarting network:
--snip--
[root@jolo /root]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
Setting network parameters: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface lo: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0: [ OK ]
--snip--
But still ifconfig doesn't find eth0 active:
--snip--
[root@jolo /root]# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0

RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

--snip--
And in syslog i see some errors:
--snip--

May 3 14:35:09 jolo sysctl: net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1

May 3 14:35:10 jolo ifup: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable
May 3 14:35:11 jolo network: Bringing up interface eth0: succeeded
--snip--
Why does it think that bringing up eth0 succeeded when it didn't?
I guess the module doesn't come up nicely... What to do?

Peter
