Hi.

I just installed v8.0 for the PPC on an Oldworld Mac--a PowerComputing
PowerBase 180 with a macally 10BaseT ethernet card.  When the machine
boots into Linux, eth0 won't start correctly.  In the log, I see a message
stating that eth0 startup is being delayed.  

For some reason, during the install, the network card wasn't recognized,
so after installation, I entered the information manually.  I created
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, and I altered /etc/modules.conf
by adding the line "alias net ne2k-pci" to the end of the file.  A reboot
does not help.  

Once up in Linux, I issue the command "modprobe net."  The correct driver
loads so I then issue "/etc/init.d/network restart".  The lo and eth0
interfaces start.  At that point, I can ping my other machine.  What
am I missing?  Why won't eth0 start during the boot process.

Thanks.
