    Hardware Install

    I am looking for reference material on how to install a network card that is physically installed in the machine; drivers are loaded from an existing card (I swaped it out) and how to bring it up. If it helps any, I am getting an error:

    Device Eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.

    Also, I am doing this via CLI...any help would be great.

    Hi. Please post the output of the following
    /sbin/lspci
    /sbin/lsmod
    /sbin/ifconfig

    Results:

    lspci showed 2 network cards.
    I forgot about lsmod
    ifconfig only shows my eth0 and ls

    /var/los/messages showed only my eth0, even though during start up, it showed 2 plug and play network cards.

    I hate to say this, but I'm going to close this post...this was a "new" install and the time I've taken on it thus far...I could have had this fixed by doing the install over. The first install I did with this, I excluded the second card...this go round, I'm including it. The cards were the same...so it should have picked up something, or so I thought.

    Thanks for the response reed and I apologise for wasting your time - anyones for that matter.
