Linux Network Settings
The instructions for setting up boot-time DHCP vary dramatically
by distribution, so you may want to refer to your particular
version's documentation.
Note :
If you have other network cards installed, you will need to pick
distinct Ethernet identifiers for each (eth0, eth1, eth2, etc.). If you
select an identifier other than eth0 for your ADSL Ethernet, use
that identifier throughout.
For RedHat
Edit or create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 so
that it contains the following three lines:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
For SuSE
Edit the file /etc/rc.config; search for the variables
NETCONFIG, NETDEV_0, and IFCONFIG_0.
Set them as follows (see the instructions in rc.config):
NETCONFIG="_0"
