Re: D-Link DFE-680TXD CardBus Network Card on a Sony VIAO PCG-F450 -- boot problem
Hi,
This is what helped me
- open /etc/network/interfaces
- Find the line starting with auto.
- if this line contains your ethernet device, remove it
- on my system the file looks like this:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet static
address 143.52.70.216
broadcast 143.52.70.255
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 143.52.70.0
