[lug] network issue/redhat linux 8.0

[r ms]

I removed the option irq5 from the modules.conf file, and also
renamed the ifup-eth0:1 to ifup-eth0, and changed the DEVICE=eth0:1
to DEVICE=eth0, and IT WORKS ....THANKS...

Question: where are these interdepencies (i.e. files) documented if
at all?

Thanks,

Ron
