What if it's configured for DHCP?Currently the rc.conf network section looks like this:

eth1="dhcp"INTERFACES=(eth1)

# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)# Declare each route then list in ROUTES#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it#gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"ROUTES=(!gateway)

Mind you, by default I got no profiles in etc/network.d because of the "dhcp" setting. I think this is also the reason why my network interfaces are greyed out when I launch Gnome network settings (system - administration - network - it shows "this interface is not configured").

When I add mtu 9000 on the eth1=dhcp line, network doesn't start properly as I believe it starts looking for a device named mtu. I have tested several ways of writing it up but none of them worked. Can you tell me what you'd put in the config file to make it run, or how I can create a profile for the network card under network.d?

Thanks for all the help!
