When I do ifup eth0 it says "No configuration found for eth0".

Which file is it missing?

In /etc/sysconfig/network I have:

config
dhcp
ifcfg-eth-pcmcia-0
ifcfg-lo
ifcfg.template
providers (dir)
scripts (dir)
wireless

The one that looks promising to me is ifcfg-eth-pcmcia-0. Here's what it 
says:

BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
DHCLIENT_SET_DOWN_LINK="yes"
STARTMODE="hotplug"
UNIQUE=" "
device="eth-pcmcia-0"

Any ideas?
