[tlug] yahoo!bb, dhcp, eth1

[Tony Laszlo <laszlo@example.com>]

I'm trying difficulties with yahoo!bb.  

I have dhcpcd and dhcp installed (this is 
on a box with RH7.1) 

I've got /etc/.../ifcfg-eth0 setup like this: 

DEVICE="eth0"
IPADDR="192.168.1.1"
NETWORK="192.168.1.0"
ONBOOT="no"
BOOTPROTO="none"

and /etc/.../ifcfg-eth1 setup like this: 

DEVICE="eth1"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
 
and /etc/sysconfig/network like this:

NEWORKING=yes
GATEWAY="eth1"
GATEWAYDEV=""

/etc/modules.conf like this: 
alias eth0 3c509  

* do I need to put eth1 in modules.conf 
as well. if so, with the same driver, 
something that matches the yahoo!bb 
modem, or something else?

* I wondering if perhaps the 
kernel does not have dhcp enabled; how 
can one tell? 

* This is the setup from the hole in 
the wallj: 
modularjack -- modem -- lan hub 
I am unclear as to where in the lan hub 
one should plug in the lan cord that leads 
from the yahoo!bb modem, i.e., in any of 
the slots, or in the principle slot (which 
is where the cord from the server is plugged 
in now). 


Thanks in advance.
