lan card. how to auto activate???

[rickyogtip]

for my lan card to work i have to insmod the module, then use ifconfig to assign ip address before it works.

i find this tedious. is there a way for this module to be automatically loaded at the same time assign an ip to this lan card? or this is how things done in redhat 6.0???

did you try linuxconf or netconf ? i have found both to be pretty good for network stuff. under basic host infomation look at adaptor 1. If linuxconf is not to your liking you can make a file under /etc/rc.d/init.d/ called network and have it do it for you, also edit /etc/conf.modules and add a line which calls the kernel module for your network card.
