The network card in the above machine has died, and I am having trouble
getting a replacement to work.
After removing the old card, and replacing it, on bootup, the machine
finds the new card, correctly identifies it as a RealTech 8139 Chip set,
and requests the necessary information, and tries to initialize the
card. However, somewhere the thing is being configured as a wireless
card, which it isn't, so of course the initialization fails. It is also
setting it up as eth1. If I try to change the information in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to make this eth0, I get an error message
"Device not present" which in a way is correct, since the original card
isn't there anymore. So I guess the questions are:
1. How do I convince the system to use the only card present as eth0?
2. Alternatively, how do I convince the system that the card associated
with eth1 is not a wireless card?
TIA
