Remove the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (this is from
memory, but that should be it.)

Subject: Network card config bailed

Been using my 3com etherlink 3 ISA (3c509.o) as eth0 for my cable modem.
Worked fine, but I wanted to set up as a server with a 2nd nic.  Note: I
dual boot with W98 2ed.  I got hold of 3 Dlink 530TX PCI cards and figured
that if one could configure well, then perhaps 2 would appease both W98 &
Red Hat 6.2.  
I shut down, pulled the 3c509, inserted one 530TX and started up.  Both
operating systems configured pretty easily, but Red Hat kept eth0 for the
3c509 even though it's gone.  The next time I booted RH it wouldn't connect
Netscape until I entered Linuxconf and,
1.    disabled eth0 (button) and

2.    enabled eth1 (button) 
Without rebooting I could connect.  Very cool.
However, I went to boot today and got this

            insmod: /lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/net/3c509.o: insmod eth0 failed
            Bringing up interface eth1   Delaying eht1 initialization.
[FAILED]

Any suggestions?

Additional note: I apologize if the format of this letter is displayed
poorly. I generally correspond with PLUG discussion with linux using text
and w98 for others using Word as my editor, but obviously my linux doesn't
email right now.
