Summary:                    not connecting to network on startup
Description: 
Configured eth0 using ArkControllCenter (DHCP). Works fine. On startup no
network reachable. Have to enter ArkControllCenter again, go to
TCP/IP-Konfiguration leave to get connected.

Not reproducable here, what does your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 say?

Make sure that when you go into the config utility, that you check the
checkbox/radio button that says 'Activate interface on bootup'.  Also
verify that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contains the line:
ONBOOT='yes'

Hi, checkbox is checked. Here is:
# more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DNS1='0.0.0.0'
BOOTPROTO='dhcp'
DEVICE='eth0'
ONBOOT='yes'
AUTOUPDATE='no'
DEFROUTE='yes'

On startup (when pressing F2) there is an error when trying to start eth0.
Where is this output saved? After startup, there is only lo and sit0, no
eth0.

Entering and leaving Mission Controll solves it.

What kernel version are you using ? If It is 2.6.10-2ark then that is the
problem.

uname -a <- will get you the kernel name and version.

I have a similar problem on kernel 2.6.10 as well as problems with usb
even though bero refuses to acknowledege it.  If Im not mistaken my
ethernet card would come up and then have 100% packet lose trying to pull
and ip from the dhcp server, and its obviously not a problem with the card
since if it where I would not be typing this bug note, as is the same with
usb keyboards and mice.
