Description Sammy 2001-01-24 16:41:58 UTC
I just installed this and my network did not come up on reboot.
Examining the /etc/rc.d/init.d/network script (and error messages
on the console) the lines:

            egrep -v '(~|\.bak)$' \
            egrep -v 'ifcfg-ippp[0-9]+$' | \
            egrep 'ifcfg-[a-z0-9]+$' | \ 

give an error and kill the script. Removing them fixes everything.
My /etc/syscconfig/network-scripts directory has the contents:

ifcfg-eth0  ifdown-post*  ifup@          ifup-plip*  ifup-routes*
ifcfg-lo*   ifdown-ppp*   ifup-aliases*  ifup-post*  ifup-sl*
ifdown@     ifdown-sl*    ifup-ipx*      ifup-ppp*  
network-functions          

and  ifcfg-eth0 has:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=129.59.116.57
NETMASK=255.255.254.0
ONBOOT=yes
BROADCAST=129.59.117.255
NETWORK=129.59.116.0
USERCTL=no
