Gigabit card not saving config

[Daryll Harford]

DEGPA-TA is not saving network config. While running everything seems fine; but when I reboot the server I need to run sysman / network config to re-initialize the gigabit card. I just does not seem as if it saves the config info to NVRAM.

Daryll,

If with "network config" you mean its IP address and netmask, then that is not saved in NVRAM but in /etc/rc.config
With
grep -e NETDEV -e IFCONF /etc/rc.config
you should find the DEGPA's network config back.
If that is the case, then "/usr/sbin/rcinet start" should start the network on this NIC.
There should also be a link /sbin/rc3.d/S00inet pointing to /sbin/init.d/inet

Rgds,
Johan.

Yes, what I meant was the rc.config file and the initialization of the NIC at boot. When I ran the "grep -e NETDEV" it came back with the correct I/P address and the subnet mask. However, what I forgot to change when I installed this card was the "NETDEV_0" was still pointing to the "tu0" instead of the "alt0". Thanks for your help in pointing me towards the problem.
