[plug] Mandrake 10.1 boot up [failure]

[John and Susan Foster]

Thank you for this. Also Michael Collard and Innis Cunningham.

I was not sure that eth0 referred to my ethernet card because this card always 
worked regardless of whether Bring up Eth0 [failed] or was [OK].

Now that I know that it is the ethernet PCI card, I suspect that there might 
be some down the line dependencies which are later satisfied. As evidenced by 
the card working there was no hardware connection problem. I have a duel boot 
system and this card also works well in Windows 98.
