I chose to upgrade from my redhat 9 system to fedora test2. The

redhat-config-network.
I downloaded the latest stable kernel (using my other computer) and installed it. When I
booted it, my networking card was in the list of cards.
I then rebooted, and here followes the funny part, as I was away from my keyboard for a
minute, grub loaded the kernel that came with fedora test2, kernel-2.4.22-1.2061.nptl.
kudzu first asked me to remove my ethernet card, then told me to configure it. I added my
card using redhat-config-network (it was in the list of cards now) and everything worked
fine.
My question to you all is: How come I couldn't get the ethernet card to work at
first, but installing the latest stable kernel fixed it?
This appears to be a bug. I am seeing the same thing. kudzu wants to rm it
then reinstall it. the problem is that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
does not exist. It is installed as ifcfg-eth1. This machine only has 1 NIC.
Kudzu also appears to want to teconfigure it on every boot. Once I mv'd the
config file eth0 works but...
Do you want to bugzilla this or should I. If you do please let me know the number.
