Code: [Select]

is_available ${REALDEVICE} || {
      if [ "$?" = "1" ] ; then
         echo $"$alias device does not seem to be present, delaying ${DEVICE} initialization."
         exit 1
      else
         exit 0
      fi
}

NIC don't work?  Change the NIC.  (Or change the slot, update BIOS, check busmastering, etc.)  But mostly change the NIC.
