Hi guys
I have been using FC6 and FC10 for quite a few months now. My network connection and functionality all work just 100% fine.
Just for curiosity's sake, I did "ifconfig -a" today, and saw this:
Code:
[root@development ~]# /sbin/ifconfig -a

The "eth0" and "lo" parts I've seen many times before, they are fine. However, what the heck does the "sit0" part mean?? I only have one network card (eth0, a 3com card, on board) in my system, and "lo" I know is the local loopback.
What is "sit0"??
