<eckirchn_> hey all, need some help, i lost my ethx card on F14.. i think i screwed it up, the card shows up in lspci but i don't have any eth0,1,2..... etc... how can i have fedora reset all network configurations?
<pollos> system-config-network
<pollos> /etc/sysconfig/netowrk-scripts
<mutant> bye
<mutant> I am trying to get my usb keyboard and/or mouse to wake my Fedora 14 system from suspend
<eckirchn_> pollos: ya. kinda there, and been there, guess i am not sure what i am missing, my intel based mobo ethernet card has an ifcfg-eth0 file
<mutant> right now, /proc/acpi/wakeup only shows PWRB as enabled
<nirik> eckirchn_: does it show in 'ifconfig -a' ?
<mutant> and when I run "acpitool -w", I just get the output of /proc/acpi/wakeup
<mutant> can anyone tell me how to decipher the Device codes in /proc/acpi/wakeup?
<eckirchn_> nirik: thanks for helping, my wiki where i post my notes from here is on this machine, thus i can't pull it up.. its showing up as eth4.. now its coming back to me... i want to do something like ifconfig eth4 192.168.0.72?
<nirik> eckirchn_: or just change it to eth0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
<eckirchn_> nirik: that was what i was looking for.. what creates that file? if i were to purge it, does some daemon recreate it?
<nirik> udev makes it. You can remove all the eth lines and it will get rebuilt starting at eth0
<fenrus02> nirik, isnt biosdevname in there?
<nirik> sure. udev calls that.
<fenrus02> nirik, n/m, he's on f14. my bad.
<eckirchn_> nirik: thanks that was my missing link
<nirik> oh yeah, thats not called on f14
<eckirchn_> nirik fenrus02 can i say again - you'all rock
<nirik> happy to help eckirchn_
Thanks for your feedback!
