Thanks - I'm actually starting to get somewhere now: I didn't have a file called rc.modules anywhere so I created one and put in just that one line insmod Now when I click on activate in net.cfg it says something about DHCP and eth0 and pauses for a while and then says ... failed. Now its no longer an ethernet card problem but a cable modem problem because the PC light on my cable modem isnt lighting up like it does during a Windows boot. So as I understand it, you have your net card connected to your cable modem correct? I honestly don't know too much about cable modems so I don't know where to start troubleshooting that, but if you are having problems getting actual eth0 initializing, the problem is probably not so much the cable modem, but the configuration of the netcard itself. You might want to make sure that you have have the driver installed properly and that everything is going ok. Also, check netcfg and make sure you have the "driver.o" file set as the file eth0 is using...even though you have insmod going. Tell me how she goes.

Hey, I had the same problem many a time What you need to do is look in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules and make sure that the insdmod line is thereexample: insmod /location/of/module/driver.o I tried for hours upon hours to get my card to work properly and I kept getting the same bedamned messaged: "Delaying eth0 initialization" So, I'm lending a helping hand and trying to save you the headache I had. Hope it works and if it doesn't tell me and I'll help you figure it out. Later and enjoy.
