[realtek] Linux COnfig Activate and rtl8139

[Joe]

I set up my adapter DFE*530tx in Linux config.  The driver is installed
and I ran rtl8139-diag to check.  Everything checks out fine.  When I
attempt to activate the changes in linuxconf it appears as if noting
activates.  I looked in the netconf.log file and found this error

    Executing: /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S10network reload
            >Bringing up device eth0 ./ifup: Can't repopen pipe to
command substitution (fd 4): No child processes
            >Delaying eth0 initialization

I tried this with eth0 and eth1.  I am running redhat 6.2 a kernel
version 2.2.14.

Any help is as always appreciated.
