Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 84181
Problem with dual networking cards
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:51:05 EDT
Description of problem: I have a machine with two different networking cards using 2 different drivers. One is for an internal network using 10.x.x.x addresses and the other connected to the internet via a cable modem. When the machine boots eth0 comes up then eth1 fails. If you then switch the drivers in the /etc/modules.conf file, switch the internet cables, and execute a "/etc/init.d/network restart" everything works fine and the machine can route between the two networks, and I can reach the internet just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every reboot causes the problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot the machine 2. 3. Actual results: ? Expected results: ? Additional info: This is a serious annoyance, granted I don't reboot very often, but when I have to reboot I don't want to go through this procedure.
