I currently have an HP Proliant DL380 G5 server. It has two working embedded NIC cards and are appropriately listed as eth0 and eth1. I installed an HP NC380T PCIe Dual Port Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter and when i enter BIOS the NIC card is detected and both Ethernet ports are listed.
When logged into CentOS as root user, I enter setup from CLI and choose "Network Configuration I go to Edit Device and choose New Device to add Ethernet. Inside Configuration I enter eth2 and I give it a static IP with a Subnet Mask".
I then go into Firewall and choose Customize then I select eth2 as Trusted device as well as Masquerade. I type ifconfig eth2, I get message "error fetching interface information: Device not Found" Please can any one assist me in getting it working?
My HP NIC is detected in BIOS but not in CentOS 5.11

Post the output from lspci -nn | grep -i net and ifconfig -a
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

I think the server isn't detecting the NIC card according to the commands I typed.

Re: My HP NIC is detected in BIOS but not in CentOS 5.11
Both of those cards should be supported by the distro "bnx2" module. How up to date is your kernel? The output from uname -rp should tell you. The latest el5 kernel is currently kernel-2.6.18-404.el5. If you are not currently running that or one close to that version number then it's probably worth updating.
