Last Straw
Is the interface “plumbed”?
- Solaris: ifconfig <ethernet-device> plumb
Is it marked as being “up”?
- ifconfig <ethernet-device> up
Are the “blinking lights”... blinking?
Is the ethernet device driver correct and loaded?
- Linux: lsmod
- Linux: modprobe <ethernet-driver>
Notes:
In Linux, a network association between an ethernet device and its corresponding dynamic module driver is maintained in /etc/modules.conf. Look for an entries called eth*. In Linux, the modules.conf file is used to automatically load a device driver module upon access of a particular device or resource.
