Hi, The following is a problem I have on all laptops, I dont know how to configure to connect when the ethernet cable is attached.
I have an ibook laptop (it is a powerpc system running squeeze) and when i plug in the ethernet cord I find that I have to log into a terminal or console and become superuser and run ifdown eth0; ifup eth0 to get connectivity to my local lan. I have a stanza in the /etc/network/interfaces that configures the eth0. Now I have many desktop machines and there whenever I plug in an ethernet card it automatically starts and configures eth0 without any manual intervention. "Magically" my kernel puts a message to my console for instance skge eth0: Link is down or a message skge eth0: Link is up at 100Mbps. full duplex, flow control both Now the Laptop seems to be having assigning control of this to pm-utils on the laptop. How to configure it to automatically connect via eth0 if i plug it in, or if it is connected and the machine is reawoken from hibernation? This is on laptops I try that I have this problem.
