You understand very-well. That's why woody is called testing :) And yes I suppose that if you don t install the eth0 driver everything will run smoothly, I didn t have the problem since I don t use ppp, eth0 and eth1 were installed correctly. Other solution, run a shell (Alt-F2 or choose in the menu), set-up your ppp-conection and your routes and again it will run smoothly. Michel.
