Question
A system with an existing Linux installation has an onboard network interface already configured as 'eth0' that is functioning properly. A PCI network interface card is inserted into an empty PCI slot and configured as 'eth1'. After the network services are restarted, neither network interface devices have network connectivity. Both devices have link lights, the correct driver installed and are supported by the kernel. There is no error message generated. What is the problem?
Options
- AA motherboard defect caused both cards to stop functioning properly.
- BIt is not possible to run an onboard and expansion NIC in the same PC.
- CAn IP conflict between the cards caused networking services to fail at boot.
- DThe kernel swapped the identification of the NICs causing neither to operate properly.
