1 Hey I recently had a problem like this with my wireless card.
2
3 However make sure that the eth0 device is even there, either by looking at
4 ifconfig
5 or
6 cat /proc/net/dev
7
8 But the issue I had was found to be a problem with the new udev that found
9 device processes to run on startup.
10 What solved this was removing net.eth0 or net.<device> from the boot/default
11 run level and letting udev finding it and deal with it correctly.
12
13 But this was also with a wireless card, sorry if it doesn't help.
