strange eth problem with RHEL on T60
Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2006 1:38 am
I have install RHEL AS 4 update 3 on T60. When plug in a cable to the intel 1G eth port (the otherside is connected to a router), everything works fine. But when I unplug the cable, run ifconfig -a shows no eth0 and corresponding MAC address.
On my old T23,eth is there even the cable is not plugged in. T60 only shows eth (MAC address) when there is a working eth connection. Is that normal? I need to use the MAC address when there is no eth connection. Thanks.
