Trouble with eth0
I have two ethernet cards, a D-Link DFE-530TX and a Broadcom 440x
(integrated in my Asus motherboard). Debian 3.0 semms to detect at least
one of them (I think the D-Link). Here are a few lines from dmesg:
pcnet32.c: PCI bios is present, checking for devices...

eth0: VIA VT6102 Rhine-II at 0xb800, 00:05:5d:aa:3b:e0, IRQ 0.
eth0: MII PHY found at address 8, status 0x782d advertising 05e1 Link 45e1.
Partition check:
Nevertheless this is the output of ifconfig:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

And this is the output of netstat -i:
Kernel Interface table

sl0 1492 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MOPRU
This shows that interface eth0 is not really detected.
Has anyboy got an idea?
Should eth0 be in /dev ?
Thanks,
Piero.
