Re: pcmcia-scheme - solved
Janne,
This work-around did the trick. I really appreciate your input. Thanks you so
much! Woody is up and running on my Dell Inspiron 8000. Quite a relief after
my unsuccessful conversion from progeny debian and subsequent problems
installing Woody from scratch.
David,
Is it fair to say this is a bug that should submitted at the debian site?
Atleast two of us have had this problem.

only lists lo, no eth0

static
First I configure PCMCIA then I configure the network. When I complete network
configuration I'm told that the network is configured but not active.
Re-configuring either PCMCIA or network does not fix this.
