You forgot. :)
Is it onboard or a PCMCIA card? If it's a PCMCIA
card the problem could be that the module isn't being loaded before
ifup gets called. If that's the case you'll probably want to set up
hotplug to automatically configure the interface (by running ifup)
when the card is detected.
This is what I need to do, as it's a pcmcia card. Now as to how.
If it's an onboard network device, you'll want to check
/etc/network/interfaces and make sure that the appropriate eth entry
(most likely eth0) is marked 'auto'. It should look something like
this:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Yes, that entry is there.
