Fedora 8 – Eth failed no link present. Check cable?
I’ve just installed fedora 8 on my desktop PC. I had previously Vista running on it but … Ok you know already enough. 
So I installed fedora 8 since I’ve worked a lot with this OS recently
The installation ran very smoothly (All my hardware and HD Drives were automaticly detected) and after half an hour I was ready to start pimping my desk using this guide.
I just had one problem , I couldn’t connect to the internet.
After searching for a while, trying out a few things I became desperate, I could not find the problem 
I even tried to reinstall the damn thing! But the problem kept existing. So let’s google again.
And finally I find a possible solution, there seemed to be a problem with my NIC.
So If you have the same problem after a fresh installation of your linux OS , try the following :
Turn of kudzu!
System -> Administration -> Services
Scroll down to kudzu in the list, uncheck the box and click stop. Then File -> Save Changes
Or simply, at the CLI (Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal) and enter the following commands in order. You will need to give the root password after the first command and press Ctrl-d to logout after the last command is finished.
su -
chkconfig kudzu off
service kudzu stop
