    Hi there..

    I have encountered this before. I managed to fix it by editing
    the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, and removing all
    lines that have a defined MAC address. ie the lines :

     MACADDR=

    or
     HWADDR=

    Also check that lsmod shows the device's kernel module loaded ok - check
    the /etc/modprobe.conf file for alias eth0 <kernel module>, and see if
    that module is loaded ok in lsmod.

    Regards,
    Michael
