recovering ifup-lo

[ehawk]

Hi,
I'm using fedora core 2

I was having problems configuring my wireless card, and instead of removing ifcfg-wlan0 to replace it, I accidentally removed ifcfg-lo. This causes problems. Is there a relatively painless way to recover it (I have the installation CD's). If not, I can reinstall the OS....nothing important was stored without backup elsewhere...it will just involve a little tweaking setting yum repositories up again, downloading and a few custom packages, etc.

ifcfg-eth0 and a new ifcfg-wlan0 are in place, if that matters.

Thanks for your help.

Did you ever do any editing on the file? If so look in the directory, there might be a back-up copy.

how about recreating the file, this is what I have ifcfg-lo on RH9

DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback

your orginial shouldn't be all that much different
