The RedHat-supplied kernel employs the Intel version of the driver, e100.0,
for your NIC. The vanilla kernel, which the vserver is most like as no
modules/drivers patches are applied against it AFAIK, supplies the original
open source driver, eepro100.o, by Donald Becker.

So, change this line...

alias eth0 e100

To this...

alias eth0 eepro100

...in /etc/modules.conf if you are always going to boot into your vserver
kernel.

Dual booting between the stock RedHat kernel and the vserver kernel would
require some additional finesse in order to get your NIC to work without
intervention at boot time.

Hope that helps,
Mike

What does the contents of your /etc/modules.conf file look like?

I do not see eth0 with ifconfig command. It is not working.
I did not complie the kernel after downloading from web. How can I get the
.config file. I do not have one in /usr/src/linux-2.4. By the way, I am
using RedHat 9.0. Thanks. Joseph

There are many way do to this :

1/ Check that the following options are marked "=y" or "=m" in the .config
file used during your kernel compilation: CONFIG_NET_PCI CONFIG_EEPRO100 in
case of "=m", you ahve to check that the modules is loaded during the system
boot

2/ check that you get eth0 when you lauch "ifconfig -a"

3/ ...

Best regards
