Hope someone out there can help me with this one, cause I'm stumped.
Have an IBM NetVista 6341-64U system (1.0 GHz Celeron, 512 MB RAM,
onboard Intel Ethernet adapter) that when Etch boots on it, will
detect an installed network card, but when networking is configured to
start, will not start it. Here's the output of some commands from a
fresh boot:
dmesg | grep eth0
e100: eth0: e100_probe: addr 0xfebff000, irq 5, MAC addr
00:02:55:25:65:FB
ifconfig eth0 up
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Similar messages showing the network card being detected at boot, but
not configured will also occur if I disable the onboard Intel Ethernet
adapter, and install a PCI network card (I've tried a 3Com and a
tulip-based card).

Well, it turns out I had the same problem as some other users described
in other threads. Editing the
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file and removing the entries
there and rebooting did the trick. Thanks to everyone for their responses.
