[Clfs-support] clfs -x64 net-interface problem

[b-vol]

Greetings,

I am having   difficulty with the workings of a network interface on a clfs  
(AMD-64)  64-bit-only  setup.

The board is  by Gigabyte  based on the nforce 6100/nforce   430 chip-sets.

on booting the following is obtained


###########
/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S80localnet: line 22 ip:command not found
/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/S80localnet: line 23 ip:command not found

/etc/rc.d/network-devices/ifup: line 72 ip: command notfound
Interface eth0  does'nt exist
########

after login:  ifconfig eth0 yields:

link encap:Ethernet  Hwaddr:  48-bitnumber (MAC address)
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU: 1500
txqueuelen: 1000

in otherwords the MAC adddress is recognised but the device is disabled.I have 
enabled all the obvious drivers 100 Mbit and100 Mbit   ethernet devices in 
the kernel configuration.

The  host( for building the clfs) was suse10.3 and there the net interface is 
seen as gigabyte mcp50. and it seems to work OK.

suggestions welcomed

sincerely
bv
