I've found a minor buglet with ifconfig, in that it doesn't display the devices first time round when you type 'ifconfig', for eg: [root@mint /tmp]# ifconfig : error fetching interface information: Device not found [root@mint /tmp]# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:90:27:36:xx:xx inet addr:203.24.x.x Bcast:203.24.x.247 Mask:255.255.255.248 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:21875834 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:23072163 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:13 carrier:49911 collisions:107366 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:11 Base address:0xe800 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:1534 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1534 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 This is using a fully patched RH6.0 system with 2.2.5-22 kernel RPM. Eth0 is an eepro100 (with multicast_filter_limit set to 3). ~ ~
