Re: eth1 without eth0
Emma,
I'd say the first thing to do is run iwconfig and see at what
interface your wireless card is being seen. I have noticed that it
changes from time to time when changing kernels, and even kernel
versions.
You may have to edit /etc/network/interfaces with the new name as
well, so that your "ifup" command has the correct information with
which to work.
