I am not sure what driver is in use. I have not had to add anything to the
system, mine is just a standard install of YDL CS 1.2 direct from the
CD-ROM.
I am not sure either how to activate eth1. Is it just a matter of making
the necessary changes via route and also in the etc/sysconfig/network file?
I don't seem to have netcfg (assuming this is a command), but I do have
netconfig. However, this is the same as the installation sequence, and
there seems to be no option to say which eth you want to use - 0 is used by
default. What would netcfg allow me to do?
Thanks for any advice.
