lo is standard loopback device, so don't worry about that.
Sounds like the module for your network card's not loaded, try
to see what kind of network card you have in your computer, then check
to see if that module is loaded.
for example on my system lspci shows:
| Code: | 0000:00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8029(AS)
0 |
so I have a realtek rtl-8029 network card that happens to use the ne2k_pci module.
Once you know what module you need for your network card, you can use
| Code: | | modprobe [i]modulename[/i] |
to load it.
once the module is loaded /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start should work.[/i][/code] |

thanks a lot for your advice, i did what you recommend me and now i can see that after running lspci i do have the following answer:
0000:00:09.0 ethernet controller: Linksys Network Everywhere Fats ethernet 10/100 model NC100 (rev11)
I was wondering which module should i load?? and how to do it???

when you built your kernel you had to compile the driver for your network card.
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig |
then choose your network card under
device drivers
Networking support
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)
make it say <M> next to the network card you have in there. Actually if I were you I'd make it compile all them as modules <M> so you can try them until you find which one works without having to rebuild your kernel each time
then exit and save your changes. then do a
| Code: | | make modules modules_install |
that should build the modules and put them in the right place so modprobe can find them. If you have problems with any of these steps you can contact me directly (e-mail or IM below) if you'd like and I can try to walk you through it. |
