ok, so you boot this machine and get a link light. is the light on the
hub? or does the card also have an led?

you run ifconfig and only see lo

you run ifconfig eth0 up and run ifconfig again you see both lo and eth0

do you have a link light on both the card and hub now?

i don't know what the latest version of dhcpcd is.
i'm running 1.3.17, so there's probably something newer.
do you have the red hat cd? does it have dhcp & dhcpcd on it?

ok, bert
