Actually, this is happening before /etc/rcS.d/S39ifupdown gets run. In fact, I've pretty much traced it down to /etc/rcS.d/S20modutils. I can also repeat this from the command line like so: joeslap# ifdown eth0 joeslap# rmmod 3c59x will remove the module and ifconfig will show no eth0. Then, if I do: joeslap# modprobe 3c59x then, ifconfig will show eth0 up and configured with an IP... seemingly with the static IP that I've got in /etc/network/interfaces. > I suggest you modify your interfaces file so that eth0 is given a > static address with no auto keyword. I tried that... and it still comes up. - Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
