Folks: I'm at a loss of what to do next, namely
- How do I tell Centos that there's a NIC, and how do I configure it?
PS: There is no GUI, and the command line display is very tiny.
Guidance would be appreciated.
Anthony K's suggestions will not be persistent (won't last a shutdown/reboot). But they will be enough to regain network access and SSH into the system from the comfort of your workstation/laptop.
- Get list of interfaces that are up:
ip l l
Then load the module: modprobe forcedeth
@Anthony, Thanks for sharing your examples. I've gotten spoiled by using the "ip addr show" shortcut of "ip a s". So much so that I try to do "ip l s" for "ip link show", which doesn't work. Given the error message: Not enough information: "dev" argument is required. I figure ip tools thinks I'm attempting to set something on the interface. Anyhow, your "ip l l" shortcut appears (see my manpage comment below) to evaluate to "ip link list", which is awesome! Shortcuts for the win.
On a CentOS 6.6 system per the ip manpage, it seems that "list" is undocumented for link and addr.
(Certainly correct me if I'm wrong ... I did find a TLDP page with an example of "ip link list", so it's known by some.)
