And therein lies your problem. These utilities use different configuration
schemes and overwrite each other. Configuring network hardware through
linuxconf in particular is a Really Bad Idea.
I suggest, as I have before, that the first thing you do on a RedHat or
Mandrake install is # rpm -e linuxconf. Then set about configuring your
network according to the Network HOWTO, using the files in /etc/sysconfig
and so forth.
