Here it is: --- begin included file --- ~ $ more /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth1 inet dhcp wireless-essid 06B410505753 auto eth1 --- end included file --- I hadnt done anything intentionally to use this--i wanted to be using NetworkManage for everything. How do i go back? Also, theres still the (probably bigger) problem that 2.6.18-5 doesnt find my wireless interface at all. And that even though i upgraded to 2.6.18-6, this isnt given to me as an option when i boot. Any thoughts about those? Thank you!
