Hi, /etc/rc.d/init.d/network fails to start my pcmcia ethernet card, apparently because I'm missing the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. How should this file look? I've taken a peek at ifcfg-lo (loopback), but it contains some data I do not have for the eth0 device, such as IP-address (I connect via a DSL-modem using Roaring Penguins PPPoE software). Note that the ethernet card and my DSL-connection work fine if I start up eth0 manually using 'ifconfig eth0 up mtu 1500'. It is an incovenience, though. My setup is Mandrake 7.0-2 (kernel 2.2.14-15mdk) on a Dell Inspiron 3800 laptop. The ethernet card is from 3COM and is recognized by the pcmcia software upon booting. Please reply directly or cc me as I had to leave the list some time back because of the volume of mail. Thanks, Olof
