Hi. I have a couple of Debian installs on my laptop, on one the eth0 NIC comes up during the boot process, but on the other it doesn't, although it's identified and there in dmesg. I'm using the same interfaces file for both, but clearly I'm missing something - that I probably did in the midst of time and have now forgotten.
/etc/network/interfaces says auto eth0 inet dhcp After boot, ifconfig shows no eth0, but "ifup eth0" says "eth0 already configured". There is no way out at this point. When I "ifdown eth0" followed "ifup eth0" (or dhclient eth0) all is sweet. What am I missing? -- Best, Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
