'ls /sys/class/net' to see all known network devices. 'ip link' to see their states: up/down, (no)carrier, PtP/broadast, et alia If eth0 is there and appears to be a broadcast medium with carrier present, you can manually bring it up and verify connectivity: ----- ip link set dev eth0 up ip addr add 192.168.0.2/24 dev eth0 ip route add default via 192.168.0.1 ping 8.8.8.8 ----- If it works, then the immutable bit in my previous message should aim your 20mm cannon on the guilty culprit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
