i have 2 NIC in computer (one on board and one pci) and both works ok. I added one more pci NIC

ironman:/home/duben# ifconfig -a

but i dont know what eth2_rena is and i can't configure it

ironman:/home/duben# ifconfig eth2_rena
eth2_rena: error fetching interface information: Device not found
ironman:/home/duben# ifconfig eth2
eth2: error fetching interface information: Device not found

could anyone help me?

check the dmesg output for device indetifier
and post here your /etc/network/interfaces file

you must declare the interface informations in the interface file or configure it with ifconfig , if you choose ifconfig you need add more parameter.
like:
ifconfig eth2 up ip_adrress netmask netmask_address

man ifconfig

[dubenaex]

didn't help

ironman:/etc/init.d# ifconfig eth2 up 192.168.6.60 netmask 255.255.255.0
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
ironman:/etc/init.d# ifconfig eth2_rena up 192.168.6.60 netmask 255.255.255.0

ok here is solution :

ironman:/home/duben# ip link show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:11:09:06:30:aa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:e0:4c:02:89:4e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth2_rename: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:e0:4c:77:13:91 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop
link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0


so if i want change settings for this ethernet card i have to use whole name eth2_rename
