   What did ifconfig -a show?  (and lsmod?)

   My dual-boot (RH6.1/Debian woody) NEC versa LX does the same on reboot,
   but only for debian. It requires:

   insmod 3c59x
   /etc/init.d/networking restart

   before eth0 shows up on on ifconfig -a.

   My /etc/modules contains:
>>>
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a #, and everything on the line after them are ignored.
3c575_cb
yenta_socket
3c59x
<<<

   What does yours say?

   Mind you, I still haven't figured how to get the beastie to take any
   notice of that last entry.

   lsmod

Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: P

ext2                   30624   7  (autoclean)

   and a manual insmod adds:

3c59x                  24904   1

   Now I don't know much about "standby". It would be something short of
   a reboot?
