eth0 configuration problem

[havok1977]

Hi every1, I am using mandrake 9.1 and i{ve been using linux for almost three years now, but im having some trouble with my ethernet configuration and i was wondering if someone could help me out, i have a simple class c network on 192.168.0.xx with 255.255.255.0 mask on a 3Com 3c509 card and im using the appropiate kernel module, however when the startup script tries to bring it up, it fails every time, here is the startup script:

 

#! /bin/bash

#

Oh and BTW, when i bring up the card via webmin, it DOES come up, so im guessing the problem is in the init script, but i cant tell where.

I solved this inserting in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0 :

MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=1
