I have a davicom ethernet card on my redhat box. All I did was use
linuxconf to tell it what kernel module to use to activate eth0. I typed in
dmfe and linuxconf wrote "alias eth0 dmfe" in my conf.modules. Now when I
start my redhat 6.2 box, the eth0 comes right up each time.

I imagine if you travel to /lib/modules/2.2.x/net (replace x with your
kernel number), you will see a dmfe.o module which resides there. You could
also add the command linuxconf did for me and edit the ifcfg-etho file in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and you would get the right Ip, netmask, etc
each time.

You will find the driver and full instructions on the CD that came with
the motherboard.

Hope this helps,
Dave.

My issue with my motherboard with an integrated davicom card is that the
drivers are way old! On my redhat 6.2 box, all I did was to use linuxconf
to basically add a line to /etc/conf.modules which says "alias eth0 dmfe".
This produced a working eth0 for me on the next reboot. The drivers which I
found with redhat 6.2, installed as modules, were much newer than the ones
which came on cd. In fact, the cd drivers would not even install on a 2.2
kernel.

Try simply writing an alias command in /etc/conf.modules like "alias eth0
dmfe".

Plus , just in case you don't know , you will have to compile the driver.
