Hi all,

I have a problem with my PCI NIC to wake it up, let me put up what i have done and if I didn't anything wrong while puting up the IP address or any please help me what you see.

I have one on board NIC which is onfigured to use eth0, and the other one is PCI NIC of eth2, but I can't wake up eth2.

1) below is IP address configuration

hope-koha:~# vi /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#The primary network interface (internal)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.12
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.100
broadcast 192.168.0.255

#The secondary network interface (external)
auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.0.156
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.100
broadcast 192.168.0.255

2) below is ifconfig on both Ethernet card, eth0 and eth2

hope-koha:~# ifconfig -a

3) initializing the network interface

hope-koha:~# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces...if-up.d/mountnfs[eth0]: waiting for interface eth2 before doing NFS mounts (warning).
done.


it is giving me the above warning, I can't wake up the 2nd NIC, which is eth2, is there any one who can help me, I am using Intex IT-584 PCI NIC for more information
