I helped someone install an Athena machine yesterday. It installed
perfectly fine. Upon rebooting, though, the machine had no network.
In /etc/modules.conf, I found:
alias eth1 e100
I asked the user about this, and it turns out that he had both wired and
wireless cards in the computer. I didn't attempt to configure the
wireless card, but I added:
alias eth0 e100
to the file, and then after a reboot, everything worked fine.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts contained ifcfg-eth0, but not ifcfg-eth1.
/etc/athena/rc.conf has NETDEV=eth0, which I didn't change.
