Ethernet card not working on bootup!!
Hi, im a beginner at linux, so this may be something i have just overlooked
When i boot my linux machine (running RedHat 9) it boots fine and tells me that eth0 has been started.
However, the interface doesnt work until i type:
ifdown eth0
then
ifup eth0
, and it then works fine
However, this is a major nuisance and causes other services especially httpd to fail to start on bootup.
The network card is an Accton SMC 1211TX, which uses the RealTek RTL8139 chipset
The driver in use is '8139too'
One thing worth noting is before i re-start the connection, it shows an Rx error count of 2 (in ifconfig).
I dont know if this is relevant
Thanks
