While I'm sure someone far more knowledgeable than me will pitch in |
20 |
sooner or later, I'll give my 2 cents. |
21 |
I only vaguely remember how this works, but IIRC there are HAL rules |
22 |
(perhaps in /etc/hal/fdi/policy ?) that remebers your old network |
23 |
cards from the previous motherboard. This gives your new card eth3, |
24 |
and you don't have an init-script for eth3. I assume you're not going |
25 |
to switch the MB back, so I suggest you dig around for the files, |
26 |
backup and remove them. This should re-number your eth3 as eth0, and |
27 |
allow the normal init-scripts to start your network. |

Again, this is _not_ my area of expertise, so if you're unsure, wait |
30 |
for someone else to reply. |
