Final follow-up: Re-added entries to /etc/network/interfaces, getting the pcmcia-cs and iptables packages, and checking out the iptables masquerade instructions, the ethernet is now working and running as a gateway for my other machine.
Happy days, thank you Glen. One point, it seems that there is an ipchains module that can be loaded in the debian 2.4.9 kernel. I deliberately did not use ipchains, so I don't hamstring myself into an older tech. It's nice to know it's there, however, but the ipchains syntax is almost identical. Thanks for the help, and I hope it's easier to point the next person to the answer. This should not have gotten harder, and linuxconf and netconfig need to be fixed. I will be submitting a bug report. Curt- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
