This could be the same as bug #334361, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=334361 So, check your /etc/network/interfaces file. It should have auto lo eth0 eth1 dsl-provider iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.x.y netmask 255.255.255.0 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.x.y netmask 255.255.255.0 iface dsl-provider inet ppp provider dsl-provider pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up So, if you have that extra 'auto' line, remove it. And of course the static addresses should be according to your own definitions. That pre-up line is probably not necessary, if the interfaces are brought up automatically in that order.
