eth0: woes
Hi.
I have just restarted my sarge server for the first time in several months and
now the eth0: inteface is dead. (I have, during the intervening months,
regularly updated with aptitude).
It's an RTL8201BL built into an Elitegroup L4S8A2 mainboard.
The /etc/network/interaces stuff still looks as I would expect. Also, if I
try to manually configure the interface with something along the lines of
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
I get errors such as these....
SIOCSIFADDR: no such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
which leads me to believe that this is a low level hardware problem.
Any suggestions? I'm relatively new to debian (more experience with Gentoo)
and I'm a bit lost as to where to look next.
