Here it is: # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp wireless_essid MyEssId wireless_key 123456789e It is a 802.11 card which is why I have the extra parameters. This is a clean net install with the Woody bf24 kernel. Note the lack of the 'auto' keyword - that ensures it brings up the card if it is inserted on start up. Cheers! Shyamal
