RedHat Not showing ifcfg eth0....redhat enterprise Linux 6.2

Hello, I'm using dell inspiron 14R laptop and I installed Redhat enterprise 6.2 on this. After successfully installation i did not found any network interface on this.
when i'm trying to load/add qeth driver . The driver is not found showing this message.

Code:
Bash: lsmod | grep qeth
Bash:
Bash: modprobe qeth
fatal: qeth module is not found

Hi,

I'm pretty sure the answer will be no - but prior to installation did you check for hardware certification for RHEL6 for inclusion of the Dell Inspiron 14R?

https://hardware.redhat.com/RHEL6

Generally enterprise-grade operating systems will not include support for "comsumer-grade" hardware.

Does it have to be RHEL, or can you use another Linux distribution on your laptop? You could possibly install a different OS, then virtualise RHEL if you need a RHEL machine to play with.

Cheers,
ZB

Are you using the System Z version of RHEL?
Code:
The QETH network device driver supports IBM System z HiperSockets, OSA-Express Fast 
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (including 1000Base-T), High Speed Token Ring, and ATM 
features (running Ethernet LAN emulation) in QDIO mode.

I'm sorry, but I found this a bit funny. How is it even possible to install a System Z RHEL on x86 platform? Smilie

dearsumon, you probably have to contact DELL to check if they provide NIC drivers (for this model) for RHEL.

I'm sure that you have checked ifconfig -a output as well. If you have not selected networking during installation /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 does not get created. If eth0 shows up in ifconfig, then you have to manually create ifcfg-eth0 file.
