fedora 14 nic problem

struggled_newbie · 03-15-2011, 09:38 PM

Hello Linux Gurus

I recently upgraded mu Fedora 13 to Fedora 14, I decided to add another NIC that I assumed it'll be eth1, when I boot the PC and typed #ifconfig eth0, eth1, lo appears. But when I typed #setup eth1 is not present. Why is that? I remembered doing this in Centos 5.5 but it automatically appears after I added a NIC and boot the pc? what should I do?

please help me.... (sorry my english is limited)

What exactly are you trying to setup? I never used that command before ever, let alone ever hearing about such a command for configuring a NIC.....

Instead of using setup command you can manually configure your NIC.

You can see configuration of your first NIC (eth0) in the following file

Code:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Use it as a sample and edit or create another file for your second NIC (eth1) i.e

Code:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

.

after that you need to restart your network service

Code:

service network restart
