ethernet 0 always off by default at startup

[Red Squirrel]

On one of my servers this has been happening since the very start the ethernet interface is always off by default. I have to physically turn it on at the server. Seems each linux install is always different, one thing that really bugs me about Linux.

I've never seen this before, its messed.

I tried to put "ifup eth0" in the /etc/rc.local but that does not do it either. I have to wait till the OS is fully loaded then go type it directly. Automated processes don't seem to work.

This is the config file if needed:

# Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=10.10.0.127
HWADDR=00:13:d4:11:09:c3
IPADDR=10.10.0.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.128
NETWORK=10.10.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
DNS1=127.0.0.1
SEARCH="loc"
NM_CONTROLLED=no
GATEWAY=10.10.0.1
TYPE=Ethernet

So which distro are you using? Can't really answer without knowing that 😛
