USB Ethernet

Tue Jul 20 22:00:25 UTC 2004

Thanks Dennis (Off list) and Aaron!

I created a ifcfg-eth0 file and it worked after a network restart.  I guess
I was just concerned that there was another step.

God Bless.

I will try to setup the proper config in network-scripts and see if it is
usable.  Where do you configure a "hotplug?"

To a relative layman in terms of USB ethernet devices, it seems from
your log as if the device is detected and initialized already. Do you
want a specific network interface (eth0, in this case) to automatically
come up when you plug in the device? I'm sure can be configured via
hotplug and/or the networking scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-
scripts...
