I have a built in ethernet card on my laptop. I have tried everything to
try and configure it under red hat 7.1. When I try commands like "ifconfig
eth0", I just get a message saying command not reconised. Short of
recompiling the kernel or a full reinstall is their anything else I can do?

have you installed the pcmcia tools? you'll need those for accessing a
pcmcia NIC. i can't speak for how it's done with RH - it's been plug-n-play
in Suse for at least the past 2 years.

Try using the command:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0

and see what you get. Unless you are logged in as root, you will find that
the command ifconfig is not in your path, thus you need to give the entire
path to it.

Good Luck!
