Thank you very much for the help, David, >>Inserted a very old 3ccfe574BT PCMCIA ethernet card into my newly >>installed RedHat 7.2 laptop and heard the customary 2 beeps, the >>green light on the network card appeared... and all seemed well. > >Looks like the card's fine; you just need to configure a network.
You're absolutely right, I just went ahead and created /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (which didn't even exist yet) and configured /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts and all the other network scripts and everything worked fine. >Don't worry about selecting a particular card -- that's handled >dynamically by the pcmcia drivers. I have to admit that I don't understand the point of that GUI application "network configuration" then b/c it doesn't list two of the network cards that I have managed to get working with Redhat 7.2. Looks like a Windows network properties applet, smells like one but sure doesn't walk like one. And what happened to linuxconf ... it seems to have disappeared. >Therefore, you may have to restart >pcmcia to get a network restart after you configure it. Yep, all working fine.
