----
edit /etc/modules.conf

add line ...
alias eth0 name_of_nic_module

and then check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

to make sure that ONBOOT=yes

your location of the ifcfg-eth0 may vary

lastly - and this undoubtedly will vary with distro...

RedHat would put preferred login manager in /etc/X11/prefdm
but my guess is that if it's not there in your distro, that somewhere
there is a prefdm file that rules.

thus YMMV
