Ethernet card does not work after Mother Board Change
 

I built a system using 4.0r2 net-install and have kernel 2.6.18-5-k7
installed.


The motherboard failed and the replacement board has a different type
ethernet card.*


In the kern.log file, I can see the ethernet card is recognized and
called eth0 but:


********The card
is not connected to eth0 in ifconfig - there is no

********eth0.



********There is
not an interrupt level in /proc/interrupts for the

********ethernet
card.


********If I try
an ifup eth0, I get an error about a non-existant

********device.



I tried entering the driver name in /etc/modules but that does not
help.


I need some assistance on how to proceed to get the system to properly
setup the ethernet card.


Thanks.


Butch

If you see eth0 in dmesg then there is an eth0. Are you sure that it
doesn't get called eth1?

Send us your /etc/network/interfaces

if nothing is accessing the card, then there will be no interrupts.

I hate udev.
