Right. If ifconfig -a doesn't show an eth0 and only shows lo, then the
kernel module for your network card isn't loaded. If you don't know the
module name, like Scott said, boot up Knoppix and do lsmod. Paste the
info here and one of us will be able to tell which one is your network
card.... show us the lspci also.
BTW, does anyone know how to see which kernel module is for which eth
device? i've often had several cards and several eth devices, and not
known which was which.
