Device eth2 is seen by the network configuration GUI however.

Attempts to activate eth2 yield this:
# ifup eth2
e1000 device eth2 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.9-1.11_FC2smp

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use ifconfig to view devices
2. Use Network Configuration GUI to view devices
3. Note that device list does not match
4. Use lspci to view hardware devices
5. Use ifup to try to activate third network device
6. Note error message from ifup command
    

Actual Results:  e1000 device eth2 does not seem to be present,
delaying initialization.


Expected Results:  device should activate

can you output of dmesg -s 128000 please ?
Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 05:00:16 UTC 
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
