>	Network devices can be configured to be active or inactive at boot time.
	For example, a network device for a modem connection is usually not
	configured to start at boot time; whereas, an Ethernet connection is
	usually configured to activate at boot time. If your network device is
	configured not to start at boot time, you can use the <B
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>Red Hat
	Control Network</B
> program to activate it after boot time. To
	start it, select <B
CLASS="GUIMENU"
>Main Menu Button</B
> (on the Panel) =&#62;
