Did you try this on previous versions of RHL or Fedora?

They all seem to suffer from the same problem (actualy i think the
problem is with VMware which cannot pass link state on to the virtual
device)

Anyway, All I have ever had to do to get around this was edit
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (or whatever the device is
called) and add the following at the bottom of that file on a line of
its own!

ip link set $DEVICE up

Comment 2 Bernd Bartmann 2004-02-18 15:37:45 UTC

I've tried this on RHL9, FC1 and FC2 Test1.

Read comment #5 on big #100527.

Comment 3 Thomas M Steenholdt 2004-02-18 15:48:52 UTC

interesting, never looked at it THAT close - the above suggested
solution works okay for me... Although, if there's a bug in the kernel
- it should really be fixed!
