Re: eth1 (3com905B) question



Arsalan, please "Reply-All" when using the list so others may share in the results (this assumes that we have useful results ;)

You must have an entry for eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces for it to be activated.

man interfaces

is a good starting point. The entry will depend on what you are doing with that interface. That is, is it a fixed ip or using dhcp? do you want it to start automatically? or manually? etc etc etc.

good luck.
