eth1
hi
i am the one with the flakey miata...
major flake #1 is the mouse. still in process.
major flake #2 is the dec tulip ethernet board. i added a 3c905tx in the
upper bridged pci. it was recognized. (cat /proc/pci)
i added 'alias eth1 3c59x' to /etc/modules. good. now i can
/sbin/ifconfig eth1 up successfully. better. also eth0 is not UP in
ifconfig.
the key:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation# (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
#iface eth0
# commented out above and changed eth0 -> eth1 below
iface eth1 inet static
address 10.42.42.110
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.42.42.0
broadcast 10.42.42.255
gateway 10.42.42.254
thanks everyone for bearing with me on this mess. now the ethernet
problem is over.
