IRC log illustrating the problem is pasted below.
(20:28:38) Tizer: Hi patrakov
(20:28:46) patrakov: Hello Tizer
(20:28:46) Tizer: networking woes...
(20:28:50) ***Joe|afk wakes
(20:28:51) Joe|afk: hi patrakov
(20:28:54) Joe|afk теперь известен как Joe
(20:28:57) patrakov: Hello Joe.
(20:29:08) Tizer: Interface eth0 doesn't exist... why not?
(20:29:23) patrakov: module not loaded
(20:29:41) Tizer: it is configured in the kernel
(20:30:07) patrakov: Tizer: which book?
(20:30:16) Tizer: lfs-6.2
(20:30:32) patrakov: Did you create udev rule for your network card?
(20:30:41) patrakov: If so, please paste it.
(20:31:10) Tizer: ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", BUS=="pci",
ID=="0000:00:0d.0", NAME="sis900"
(20:31:21) patrakov: then there will never be "eth0"
(20:31:27) patrakov: there will be "sis900"
(20:31:40) patrakov: and, are you sure about the ID?
(20:32:40) patrakov: BTW, could you please suggest textual improvement
to the book, so that it is 100% clear that the network interface gets
renamed, and eth0 doesn't exist anymore?
(20:33:18) Tizer: the examples had realtek and intel as the NAME
(20:34:46) patrakov: you can use any name as long as you use it
consistently. If that name is not "eth0", there will be no "eth0" at all.
(20:35:14) Joe: patrakov, i'd exepct it after 1.0.0 is released
(20:35:39) patrakov: Joe: expect what?
(20:35:49) Joe: patrakov BTW, could you please suggest textual
improvement to the book, so that it is 100% clear that the network
interface gets renamed, and eth0 doesn't exist anymore?
(20:36:44) ***Joe read that wrong the first time
(20:37:04) patrakov: Joe: that was addressed to Tizer. My own opinion is
that I can't improve the existing LFS text, because I wrote it, and I
cannot be good at criticizing my own text
(20:37:15) Tizer: so if I rename ifconfig.eth0 to ifconfig.sis900....
(20:37:22) Joe: Tizer, yea
(20:37:41) patrakov: What I am afraid of is that this becomes a FAQ :(
(20:37:58) Joe: that wouldn't do any good
(20:38:35) patrakov: that's why I think that the text has to be rewritten.
(20:39:14) Tizer: ch 7.13.2 needs amending to the name used in the first
section
(20:39:45) Joe: i'll go read it as soon as i get back, probably in a
half hour or so
(20:39:51) Tizer: The following command creates a sample ipv4 file for
the realtek device devised above (as an example).
(20:40:01) Tizer: suggested change
(20:41:03) patrakov: OK.
