When you're trying from command line, what are the commands you use. If possible, post the whole sequence - your commands and all messages/errors etc.
What kind of a card is it? One using 8139too driver? |
Hi,
I have setup IP address, mask etc for the ethernet card at the installation time After login as a root I am using following command. #ifconfig eth0 up. And it is giving error . I am using realtek8139 card, and it is working perfectly fine under window regds, Chetan |
Please be clear
Could I know what error it is showing ?
Please Post the command you tried along with the output |

I am getting the same error SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid Arguments. Is there any solution for this problem? Also the kernel version that is installed with Fedora 3 is 2.6.9. Is building latest kernel wolud be a better idea? thanks, nandac |
How does the ifconfig (without parameters) output look like?
I think it's not the right time to build a new kernel (of course, you can try if you wish), the driver you use is a very standard one, so I guess it's something simple. BTW It's worth it to upgrade your Fedora and it's highly likely that upgrade means new kernel. |
