I have just installed RHEL6 and and when i restarting network, i get the following.

[root@localhost]# service network restart
fgrep: ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory
fgrep: ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory
/etc/init.d/network: line 208: ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory

fgrep: ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory
fgrep: ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory
fgrep: ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory
egrep: ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0: No such file or directory
Bringing up interface ifcfg-eth0: ./ifup: configuration for ifcfg-eth0 not found.
Usage: ifup <device name>

Would any one please tell ?

Hi Rino,

I think its due to missing network configurations file.So please do the following steps

[root@foundation1 ~]# vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
:wq

After setting this parameter use system-config-network utility for setting ip address configurations.then restart your network service.

Hi All,

Gladly here i found the solution for the same, it was driver prob.

1.yum install gcc* compat-*
2. make a directry in "/"
cd driver_BCM4313/ (copy the driver in to dirctry and xtract it frm dere)
3.tar zxvf hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_248.tar.gz //(extracting the files)
4. make
5. cp wl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64/kernel/net/wireless/
6. depmod
7. modprobe wl

Service network restart
chkconfig network on
