/etc/sysconfic/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contains:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:C0:9F:7B:BD:38
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
DHCP_HOSTNAME=sonny.local.sys
I put that first because the next bit goes on and on and on and . . .
with a great deal of repetition. Once you've seen the pattern, me
booting up and shutting down a couple of times, I think you will know
whether it is going to be useful:
Lines in /var/log/messages (yes, Dave, I'm now sure that's where syslog
went) which contain references to eth0 or SiS900, the ethernet device,
but little or no mention of dhcp:
