sorry for coming in at the top of your email.I am assuming you _have not_ messed with network.opts, or at least returned it to the way you found it.what does ifup eth0 do? does that bring up the network?on my system to stop/start network i type /etc/init.d/networking [stop][start] is this what you did?have you tried restarting pcmcia? /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart?hmm just did: /etc/init.d/networking restart and pcmcia stopped.. ifup eth1 (on my system) started it..
Well.. I don't think pcmcia actually stopped, just the network card :)
assuming that you just removed auto eth0 it should really start up ok next boot. if it don't start I'm lost...hth Ben. Harry Brueckner wrote:Hi there, thanks for the responses so far. Somehow I still had no success with an automatically upcoming eth0.I tried to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts but that did not change anything.When I removed 'auto eth0', the network did not come up at all, not even after I restarted the network with /etc/init.d/network.Where exactly does this problem come from? Do other people also face this kind of uncomfortable situation?TIA, Harry<snip>
