Package: linux-image-2.6.29-2-686
Version: 2.6.29-5
Severity: normal
I've been running Debian on this machine for years. Latest working kernel
is 2.6.26-2. All versions of 2.6.29 so far have broken networking. Files
attached:
1. /etc/network/interfaces
2. output of ifconfig under 2.6.26 (working)
3. output of ifconfig under 2.6.29 (broken)
4. output of dmesg under 2.6.26 (working)
5. output of dmesg under 2.6.29 (broken)
Sorry if this is trivial - I can't see what's wrong.
Regards,
CC

I think you want to map MAC address 00:e0:18:f1:05:7b to eth0, so change
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules accordingly. Please let us
know whether this solves the problem for you.
Sadly not, but thanks to both you and Maximilian for the replies. I
attach /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (having edited the last
entry to point to eth0 as you suggested).
Did you reboot or restart udev after changing this file?
Yes, I rebooted.
Can you send a new kernel log?
Attached. Grateful for any further ideas/suggestions,
Try "grep -r 'NAME="eth' /etc/udev/rules.d".
Ooops. It was still parsing backup70-persistent-net-rules. Sorry folks.
Works fine after removing the backup. Thanks for the help.
