However, when you execute /sbin/ifconfig (with no command line arguments), you should see your Ethernet interfaces listed, something like this: eth0 Link encap:10Mbps Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:C0:F8:6F:B7 inet addr:129.83.212.45 Bcast:129.83.212.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5368 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 TX packets:2061 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 Interrupt:15 Base address:0x290 Memory:d0000-d4000 If not, then check your boot messages. The program "dmesg" dumps the most recent 4KB or so of kernel messages, which will include the boot messages if you have booted recently. dmesg also apparently clears the buffer, so you should probably dump its output into a file and then use a pager: $dmesg >kernel-messages $less kernel-messages My messages included this: eth0: SMC Ultra at 0x280, 00 00 C0 F8 6F B7, IRQ 15 memory 0xd0000-0xd3fff. smc-ultra.c:v1.12 1/18/95 Donald Becker (becker at cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov) - Jim Van Zandt
