On this system with FireWire + Ethernet, both were detected as
ethernet interfaces, firewire = eth0, ethernet = eth1. After reboot,
the order was reversed, so no connection to the internet was possible.
Bringing up the real ethernet manually and editing config files solved
the problem for me, but a newbie would have been lost here.
