Networking help.

Hi,

I am a linux newbie so let me say thanks in advance for any help I get...

My RH6.2 system can no longer load the module for the network card. The system is not with me...lives in our colo...and I wasn't there to diagnose. Apparently the network module cannot be loaded (manually or auto)...My guess is that it is somehow corrupt. Is there a procedure for reloading this module or driver?

Thanks again,

Paul

try modprobe modulename optionsifneeded
is your hardware ok?
maybe your init scrips are fscked?

Hi there...I was able to retrieve the system and here is what I have found...the eth0 starts fine at boot...(I get an ok as it loads)

lsmod does not show the pcnet32 mod loaded....

insmod pcnet32 seems to work fine...

lsmod shows pcnet32 loaded

ifup eth0 gives me the following error...no such device!

If I go into linuxconf and try to assign the eth0 to the network interface 1 it dumps when I try to apply the changes...

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Paul
