No network interfaces in unix??

when booting up unix server a command of "ifconfig" displays no network interfaces at all? could we be booting up wrong?

No network interfaces in unix??
Its possible that your unix distribution doesn't include drivers out of the box for the network cards you have.
Reply:Is the TCP/IP stack compiled in the kernel. If you aren't even seeing the loopback interface (lo0 - 127.0.0.1) then the answer is likely no. Otherwise your NIC isn't getting reconized, which might mean it is loose (card needs re-seating) or has gone bad.
