I think that this means that the name of the interface in
/etc/network/interfaces doesn't equal the name of the device on the
system.
Compare the output of ifconfig with the line auto eth0 or similar in
that file.
The /etc/network/devices lines related to eth0 were:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
/sbin/ifconfig/eth0 up gives response
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device.
What does this error message mean, and how do I fix it? apt-get is a
great program, but it's nearly useless until I can get my internet
connection working.
