Hi Jeff,
First thing to try would be typing this:
ifup eth1
You should either get an "OK" message or an error stating that you aren't
using the command correctly (usage: ifup <device name>).
If you get the "usage" error, then there aren't any scripts created for your
NIC most likely. Check this by going to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ and
looking to see what is there. You'll see a file called ifcfg-eth0. This is
your config script for eth0. Here's an example file:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=142.30.xxx.xxx
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=142.30.xxx.xxx
HOSTNAME=ccmf1.vcc.bc.ca
DOMAIN=vcc.bc.ca
If you're using DHCP, you'll see something more like this:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=DHCP
ONBOOT=yes
What you want to do is create an ifcfg-eth1 script. Basically, it would
look like this for DHCP:
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=DHCP
ONBOOT=yes
and I'm sure you get the picture.
Note that you CAN also do this with linuxconf instead of editing/creating
the files yourself, but I personally haven't had much luck with linuxconf on
PPC linux.
HTH,
Bryn
