Hello,
We got a new machine at work with an intel [EMAIL PROTECTED] from Dell [model: Optiplex GX280] with an Intel broadcom(r) NIC. I installed fedora core 2
by replacing the windows partition, which installed painlessly.
However, I am unable to "see" eth0 via a /sbin/ifconfig eth0 (I get a mesasage saying eth0 not found). I could'nt find any info in /var/log/messages indicating whether the device was detected or not. How can I try to detect this device and obtain its MAC-address?
First off, let's see what you have. Could you please post the output of dmesg and lspci?
Have you installed X? If so, you can use system-config-network to set it up - provided that the NIC is supported. If not, NDISwrapper is called for.
