eth0--what's up?
Whoo--I saw the Matrix last night, quite a trip.
On to business.
What exactly is eth0? From the way I've seen it
discussed I always presumed it was a device node,
residing in the /dev directory, just as ttyS1 is my
modem, ttyS0 is my mouse, hda is my first hard drive,
hdd is my cdrom. But during the boot up sequence it
tells me it's initiating eth0 as SMC EZ ethernet
whatever at 0x300 with irq whatever, but no eth0
appears in /dev. I know everything initialized right
because I can smbmount over the ethernet, so the
missing link must be my understanding of what eth0
refers to.

///Archaeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what appears to be a missing page from the Bible. The page is currently being carbon dated in Bonn. If genuine it belongs at the beginning of the Bible and is believed to read "To my Darling Candy. All Characters portrayed within this book are fictitious and any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental."///Red Dwarf
