Problem with NIC going inactive upon reboot

[Steven Jones]

/etc/modules.conf or (what ever it is in 2.6.x kernel), is the e1000
module shown as an alias?

If not try

alias eth0 e1000

reboot and see if that now works automatically.

If it is there, it suggests a non-standard piece of hardware the
standard linux e1000 module is failing to see (not unknown with embedded
NICS, Broadcom is really bad for this). Try getting a later version of
the kernel if that is possible, if not try Intel's site for the specific
3rd party module and install it in the kernel.

Configurations for 2 identical machines are as follows:

P4 3.0 GHz processor
Intel 915GEVLK motherboard (Gigabit ethernet)
1 GB DDR2 memory
3Ware 8506-4LP
2 WD800
Fedora Core 4

Problem I am having is that when the machines are rebooted, the network
connection show to be inactive.  I have to manually activate it under
the Network configuration in XWindows.  More of an annoyance than
anything.

Thanks!
