I installed fedora2-test1 on my computer (Asus A7N8X-E, Barton 2500) and
everything (almost) works
very well. However, I just cant seem to get eth2 to work. 

[root at as1-6-6 root]# ifup eth2
forcedeth device eth2 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.

[root at as1-6-6 root]# cat /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth2

I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.1-1.65 to 2.6.4-1.298 hoping that this
would help, but the results the same. 

I'm relatively new to Linux, and currently I havent got a clue on what
to do next. Anyone else had any success with this combination, or have
some hints on how to resolve this problem?


Kind regards
