I installed antix 8.5-486 base on a compaq armada laptop which has a winmodem, and I am using a pcmcia card to use ethernet, but

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0
gives me

Code: Select all

 ifconfig: command not found
.
Is there a command that will bring the interface up?

Hi roky,
I found the problem. I had to run

Code: Select all

ifconfig eth0 up
as root. That solved it.

Glad ya posted the solution though. __{{emoticon}}__
