ethernet problems on linux

Linux seems to be having a problem with my ethernet adapter. I was wondering what I should do for my linux to be able to use it...The problem is as follows...




As linux (redhat linux) is uploading before it hits its graphical interface its stalls at the part labled eth0 and says that it failed


I'm just starting with linux so I don't got no freakin' clue what to do!

 

Hi ironchef!
I am a nOOb, too, but I am curious...
Do you have the specs on your card? What is the manufacturer, etc?
What I'm getting at... Wonder if we can check the hardware compatability lists and see if that card is supported.
If it is a newer card, perhaps its time to use a newer distro (which would have a newer kernel - perhaps with support for your card that RH-9 doesn't have?)

Yes, what is the distro you are using, exactly, and the NIC that you have in your computer?
