Re: Network on bootup

[Harry Brueckner <harry_b@eml.cc>]

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
