Bug 134101

Which onboard ethernet cards are you using?  Which mainboard are you
using?

Sounds like a NVidia chipset. Please _attach_ the output from 'hwinfo'.

my mainboard is a tyan tomcat k8s s2850 and my ethernet cards are broadcom netxtrememe bcm5705 gigabit ethernet cards. i have and amd opteron processor.

Please _attach_ the output from 'hwinfo'.

Sorry for the long delay, but i was very busy.

If you still have the problematic setup. It would be nice if you could show me the following info:
- /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*
- output of 'rcnetwork restart -o debug'
- 'ip a; ip r'
- 'getcfg <interface>' for all ethernet interfaces.

I have also become very busy, as i now have 2 jobs. Unfortunately this means i have had less time to work on my computer, i wish there were more techinicians who would come to peoples homes who know linux. anyways, i input what you requested and the following was the output:

/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-*

Okay, there it is. i will probably be able to check up on the bug again on friday. i have been looking for someone who knows what they're doing to come to my apartment to make sure i have everything installed correctly, like nerds on site, but finding someone who does that and knows linux is about one in a million i think.

You have to be root to acces the interface config files. Please call 'su -' to become root. Then call 'cd /etc/sysconfig/network; grep -H "" ifcfg-*' and show me this output.

Further the command 'rcnetwork restart -o debug' has a 'o' (lower letter o) and not '0' (zero). Please repeat that.

Further i would like to see the output of 'ls -l /sys/class/net/*'.

I now have an idea what could be wrong.

Hello, 
I'm not sure if i'm just dense or what. I signed in as root and put in the information you asked for. Most of it did not work still though. i tried to input the commands several times over in every way i could think of that you meant me to do it. every time i got either 'no such file ro directory' or 'command not found' or 'invalid option'. i do apologize, i'm sure most people know this stuff already when they use linux. 

anyways, here's the actual output i got from the 'rcnetwork restart -o debug' command

rcnetwork [DEBUG] CONFIG             = -
rcnetwork [DEBUG] INTERFACE          = o
rcnetwork [DEBUG] AVAILABLE_IFACES   =  eth1

it does not seem to recognize that i have two network cards i think, if i can remember how i will go into the BIOS and make sure they are both turned on. i have done that before so i should be able to figure if out again.
