	Is yours a PCMCIA Ethernet card or a built-in one ?

	For PCMCIA Ethernet cards, this is usually okay because the pcmcia
daemon comes up later in the boot sequence and then brings up your eth0
intereface.

	However, if you have a built-in Ethernet card, this probably means
that the correct driver isn't being loaded for the card.

	It would help if you could identify the card for us by posting the
relevant lines (or the whole file :-) from :

	/etc/sysconfig/hwconf

	We could then see what driver etc you need for your card to work.

	Hmm, maybe you need to set some network parameters like netmask,
gateway etc ?

	It would help to see the output of :

	# ifconfig -a

	Do you see the eth0 interface ?

	Please post your findings and we can make some headway.

	Regards,
