I'm using Sid and probably did do an upgrade in the last day or two. I
have not changed any settings myself.
Dmesg shows:
MAC enabled eth1 <MAC no. of card>
eth1 index 0x05: Vcc 5.0, Vpp 5.0, irq 3, io 0x0100-0x013F
Syslog shows the above two lines, plus:
executing: '.network start eth1 2>&1'
+ Sample private network setup
The card is a Cisco Aironet 340
Kernel 2.6.13-1-686; I also tried 2.6.10-1-686
