I just installed Debian (Woody) on my new laptop with the 2.4.18 kernel. My laptop is a hp pavilion ze4560us and the ethernet card is National Semiconductor Corporation DP83815. I set the ethernet up by editing /etc/network/interfaces, changing the first line to auto lo eth0 and adding,
iface eth0 inet dhcp Then, #modprobe natsemi lspci recognizes the card. But then, #ifconfig ext0 up gives me eth00: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device #ifup ext0 gives me Ignoring unkown interface ext0=ext0 when I try to run dhclient I get similar results. For example, #dhclient gives me eth0: autonegotiation did not complete in 4000 usec. eth0: link up. afterward ifconfig shows eth0 but there is no IP. Again, #dhclient gives me "ext0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device I also tried replacing the line iface eth0 inet dhcp with iface_eth0="dhcp" at the suggestion of a friend, but this gives me the same results. Can anyone help please? Sincerely, Forest Fisher -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
