I know this must be an incredibly dumb question, but i cant find my eth0 
interface.

I normally use a WiFi connection on my laptop, running Etch with Gnome. But i 
just brought the computer into an office, plugged in an Ethernet cable, and 
waited for NetworkManager to pick it up. And waited. And waited. Eventually i 
took a look at the Desktop -> Administration -> Networking tool, and there was 
not eth0 listed there, and then i ran ifconfig and eth0 isnt there either.

My /etc/network/interfaces does have "allow-hotplug eth0" in it. And i am 
getting flashing lights from the plugged-in Ethernet port, so it's not a dead 
connection. Why is this interface missing for me, and how do i get it back?

Thanks,

Jen
