re: wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801 while getting IP address for eth0 interface using DHCP



Hi,

I'm still having trouble configuring my wired network interface on Debian Lenny running on HP Compaq Presario CQ61.

I put "auto eth0; iface eth0 inet dhcp" (each statment on separate line as shown in debian wiki) into my /etc/network/interfaces file. I ran "ifdown eth0; ifup eth0". I got this error message in the output "wmaster0: unknown hardware address type 801". I also tried configuring the network setting manually, but to no avail. (see output of ifconfig -a and lspci -k below for details).

Is it something I'm doing wrong? Why wouldn't DHCP work during the installation process?

I have done quite a bit of googling about it. I have seen posts of other people experiencing similar problems as me, but so far have found no solution to the problem.

I'd appreciate any feedback on what needs to be done in my situation.

Thanking you all in advance.

Alexander Kapshuk.
