eth0 help

[short bus]

I'm having a "slight" issue. I have been trying to install a driver for my Wireless NIC but am unable. The driver i found for it is rtl8180-0.21

Also, when i booted my laptop today (which is where i installed FC5) It no longer sees eth0, which where I had been connected to the internet from with a CAT5 cable. The message i get is:

/sbin/ifup: configuration for eth0 no found..

any help for either or both issues would be great..

Try going to system->admin->Network and see is the card is active/inactive. If there is nothing listed just add new and step through the menus.

Guess i should have mentioned I've already tried that. It shows it there as inactive, when I try to active it I get that error message, also getting it when I try to bring it up through command line.

check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (make sure it exists)
check /etc/modprobe.conf (make sure there is a alias eth0 something)
or
at network hit delete for eth0 (intactive), then hit save, then add new.
