Hi Yasha,

     I am presuming you are looking for the virtual network configuration.
Basically, you create a new ifcfg file in 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.  The
"VLAN=yes" statement is what does the virtual network adapter magic.

     I am using a fixed IP.  You can use DHCP if you like.  To all the world
it looks like an addition network card.  Make sure "DEVICE=" matches
the name in "ifcfg-xxx".  The first half of the "XXX=sss" must be
all caps.

    Once you get the new ifcfg-xxx file in place, you can restart "network",
but I prefer to reboot.

     You may want to set "PEERDNS=yes" if you are not using your own
local DNS.

    Let me know if you need any help with LPR/LPD.  There are some tricks
