Thanks, Bob, for the detailed explanation and tips.

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.

Do you mean:

allow-hotplug eth0

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.

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.


Maybe you need to look at current information. The blog you reference is over 6 years old. A lot has changed since then!

But once again, I forgot.  You refuse to learn.
