Thanks, Bob, for the detailed explanation and tips. > That assumes you have that hardware. Other hardware will show up with their > own id strings. Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean by "That assumes you have that hardware" ? I have the network card installed in my machine. > Better to use "allow-hotplug" there instead of "auto". Do you mean: allow-hotplug eth0 > There isn't a "dhcpcd" command in Debian. You must be using a different > system with the above notes. The above command is copied from the following guide: http://debianletters.blogspot.com/2008/01/howto-simply-configure-network-card-in.html You have me confused. Either you are right or the writer of the said guide is wrong. > On Debian that would be "isc-dhcp-client". The writer of the guide states that it (the guide) is for Debian users. And you're telling me he's wrong. I'm really confused. I think I need a second opinion.
