Description Arvin Schnell 2007-09-11 16:13:00 UTC
My system has two network cards and I'm doing a SSH installation.
During 1st stage eth1 is used. After reboot I have no network.

After some debugging I renamed the file ifcfg-eth1 to ifcfg-eth0
and did a rcnetwork restart and then I had network again.

Content of ifcfg-eth1:
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
STARTMODE='onboot'
NAME='Realtek RT8139'

Output of hwinfo --network (after reboot):
26: None 00.0: 10700 Loopback
