I m using fedora core 2 but everytime i have to activate the network card manually is there anyway to make it auto activate on startup?
thanks

At the command line, type neat which brings up a neat GUI tool for configuring the network devices.
Under the Devices tab, highlight the nic you are interested in which is eth0 this time.
Select Edit ....
[X] Activate device when computer starts
Save changes

You can also edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Code:

onboot is supposed to be all caps
ONBOOT=yes
