No, using the options of the installer,I was unable to get any reference to eth0 without assigning an address. I tried to add manually a 'auto eth0' line, followed by 'ifup eth0' after the "auto lo" "iface lo inet loopback" lines, but the system just ignored them. I might have some typing - or other - error but I got no protest message. I assumed that the problem -and possible solutions- are already known to many people, as I am pretty late in trying the 2.6 kernel and the new installer. > You can also use the 'ppp' method to automatically start a ppp > connection: > > iface ppp inet ppp > provider dsl-provider I shall try that... > This will happen to work in the right order at boot time.
