Actually, here is what shows up in the log, regardless of whether the
driver is built-in or loaded as a module:

Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl: net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl:
net.ipv4.conf.default.accept_source_route = 0
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl: kernel.sysrq = 0
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 sysctl: kernel.core_uses_pid = 1
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 network: Setting network parameters: succeeded
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 network: Bringing up loopback interface:
succeeded
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 ifup: Device eth0 has different MAC address
than expected, ignoring.
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 network: Bringing up interface eth0: failed
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 ifup: Device eth1 has different MAC address
than expected, ignoring.
Feb 5 10:16:15 sparenode1 network: Bringing up interface eth1: failed

It has been suggested that I edit out the HWADDR= contents from the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts file and restart the network.

Any other/further input?

Thanks.

I get the following results when I try to load the 2.6.11.4 kernel with
an Intel e1000 driver (the one that comes in the kernel source):

1) If I build it into the kernel, nothing shows up at all.

2) If I build it as a loadable module, I get errors on eth0 and eth1
that the MAC address is different than expected, and it ignores the
controller.

What's up with this?

Thanks.
