Hi, i have after fresh install, but my integrated networkcard is not working, eth0 on rc.conf is dhcp, resolv.conf i set to opendns.

Re: new install -> eth0 not working

lspci | grep Ethernet

Could also help determine if a specific module has to be used.

ifconfig
Link encap: Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask 255.0.0.0
Loopback running MTU:16436 Metric:1
and followed by lots of zeros for all items(packets, errors, collisions,....)

lspci | grep Ethernet

Re: new install -> eth0 not working

Try modprobe to load, and rmmod to remove modules at runtime

[toffyrn@hubble ~]$ sudo modprobe forcedeth 
Password: 
[toffyrn@hubble ~]$ lsmod | grep deth
forcedeth              47287  0 
[toffyrn@hubble ~]$

After you have loaded the module, what is output of ifconfig then?
