[olug] eth0 troubles

[bbrush at unlnotes.unl.edu]

Hi guys.

Here's my situation.

I have a box I'm loading up to be a firewall.  Bare bones install (no X,
etc).

It's a 486/33 with 48Mb of Ram, and 1Gb of space.

I have it loaded with Redhat 6.2.

I downloaded 2.4.5 and compiled it for a 486 with all the Networking
options.  It boots fine.

The problem is the ethernet card.  It doesn't seem to recognize it even
though I compiled support for it into the kernel.  It gives me a "Delaying
eth0 initialization" when I do an ifup eth0.  When I do an ifconfig command
to configure it it says "No such device".

If I boot back to the 2.2 kernel it works fine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Bill
