The hardware is recognised but, with no network cable attached, no address is obtained via the asked for dhcp in /e/n/i. In dmesg you might see 'eth0: link is not ready'. I'd put your previous, before rebooting observations down to some use you made of ifconfig. For example, 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.54' followed by 'ifconfig eth0 down' would explain eth0 having an address and not being marked 'UP'. > eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:11:09:ee:6c:04 > inet addr:192.168.1.42 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 > [...] This interface is not in /e/n/i.
