Yesterday, due to some weird reason, my network went down yesterday.
When I rebooted into Fedora to see if it worked, it did. Then I rebooted
into 2.4.26 kernel in Debian. That worked too. Then I tried again in
2.6.9 and 2.6.7 kernels in Debian and networking failed again.


The solution was to interchange the configuration of eth1 and eth0 in
Debian and then my networking worked perfectly.


Has anyone else experienced something like this recently? And how come
the detection in Debian did not need to be changed when I ran 2.4.26
kernel?


The 2.6 kernel changed the detection order for PCI devices compared to 2.4.

Just to clarify this, the detection was working okay in 2.4.26, 2.6.7 and also in 2.6.9. A new version of discover seems to have changed the order, or so I think. Kernel version didn't seem to be the factor in my case.
