Re: Network problem
This seems to be an issue with ifconfig in the latest nettools package of
Sid(unstable), this can be fixed if you have a debian cd, like potato, i had
this happen today, and just untared the base package into my tmp dir, and
replaced the ifconfig binary. This should be fixed eventually.

obviously I can't get onto the network. Pinging anything (including
127.0.0.1) simply says the network is unreachable.

stemmed from upgrading some packages to the latest versions (in the unstable
distribution) because everything was working fine until I rebooted. I am
using kernel 2.4.1 and I've tried using an older kernel but the same things
happen, so any suggestions on how to fix this or where to look for problems?
