archlinux eth0 doesnt exist

good morning community,

i installed today archlinux from the i686 core image on a old notebook (Pentium 4).
everything worked fine except the network device.

Everytime i boot it hangs by the networksection and pulls out a something with SIOCSIFFLAGS doesnt exists.
the weird is that lsmod, lspci both are showing the device, so the module most work in a way.
ifconfig doenst shows eth0.
ifconfig -a does, when i want to acctivate it with "ifconfig eth0 up" it gives an error that eth0 doesnt exists.

greets K.O.L.L.E.G.A.H (euer Boss)

Re: archlinux eth0 doesnt exist

Can you post the "ifconfig -a" output?  Also what is your ethernet card?

Post your rc.conf. Do you have just one ethernet card or more?

Yes (what the other two said), and also post the output of:

$ lspci

Or, if you get a result with the word "Ethernet" in it, just post:

$ lspci | grep -i net

(This is what "the sad clown" asked for above re. your ethernet card, but if you don't know, this is one way to get it.)

You may also want to tell us what your laptop make and model is.

What's this? 'ifconfig -a'? Is it really the whole output? No loopback interface?
