eth1 won't start

Hello all,

I have a machine[1] into which I installed a second NIC. It is identified
by lspci as:

00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Accton Technology Corporation SMC2-1211TX
(rev 10)

The driver, 8139too, is compiled as a module and loaded by udev. After
booting, lsmod says:

8139too 18304 0

I have net.eth1 symlinked to net.lo in /etc/init.d/ and /etc/conf.d/net
is empty. When I try to start interface:

# /etc/init.d/net.eth1 start
* Starting eth1
* Configuration not set for eth1 - assuming DHCP
* Bringing up eth1
* dhcp
* network interface eth1 does not exist
* Please verify hardware or kernel module (driver)

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Roger

What is the contents of your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
file contain? Also, what about ifconfig -a?

May or may not help, but worth a try: delete the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
and reboot.

Based on the above it looks like you have had or still have four NICs
installed? If you have only the two cards installed you can delete
everything except for the first entry and the one referencing the card
currently in the machine and change name to "eth1." So:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:01:03:c5:2a:7b",
NAME="eth0"

SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:10:b5:e0:cc:c8",
NAME="eth1"

Yes, that fixed it.

Many thanks,
