Network setup
hey guys

i have a bband connection, my comp's on a local LAN. and i use mandrake linux 9.1. and i've a small problem. everytime i start my computer, i kinda need to run the mandrake control centre to configure my network, otherwise nothing gets pinged(IP or gateway).

when i try to start the network manually, dat is,
./network start

at /etc/init.d directory, its not able to detect eth0( my ethernet adapter). but MCC works fine .

Is the driver for your ethernet card compiled as a module?

If so, it may not be loaded during startup.
You might have to add it to modules to autoload.

Here is an example with a e100 card. (change name to match your driver)
Code:
echo "e100" >> /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.6
I'm not using Mandrake anymore, so this location might not be the same but it is something like that. (Search for autoload in /etc directory)
