Ethernet card does not work with FC2

[Alberto M R Davila]

Yes, I use static IP address and not DHCP... I was using FC1 nicely (with
my 512MB RAM and 60Gb HD) then assumed FC2 and its kernel 2.6 should run
nice as well... :-(

Will try your suggestion in case I don´t get any further useful tips.

Thanks, Alberto
