Ifconfig problems

Maybe my syntax is incorrect?

as root:

ifconfig eth0 inet "my ip address"

error message = SIOCSIFFLAGS Funtion not implemented

ifconfig outputs only lo

Did you start the interface at boot? What does /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (presumeably) return?

ifconfig -a:

dmesg produces an error message.

During boot up the system pauses at eth0, then gives me an error message saying:

SIOCSIFFLAGS Function not implemented.

I've researched somewhere and most say its an interrupt issue?

Either that or you havent loaded the correct module for your nic. lspci | grep -i ethernet shows what? What does lsmod show?

Anything? still having the same error:

SIOCSIFFLAGS Function not implemented. I've been reading this is an interrupt issue. If this is the case, I want to reassign interrupt #9?
