Okay, that seems to work - I guess I was focussing so much on getting it to
work by modifying configuration files in /etc/ (such as
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1) that I didn't think to try the
manual way.
So, both of these commands work:
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 192.168.76.101
/sbin/dhclient eth1
Manually configuring the interface seems to work - now I just have to figure
out why /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 isn't being used when I
bring the interface up.
Thanks,
Brian
