I'm using WEP and entering the passphrase as hex in network-manager-kde. If I
boot with:
cat /etc/network/interfaces >>
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
# allow-hotplug eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
Then:
ifconfig >>

And everything is ok. The interface as such works, but I'm having trouble
getting eth1 up automatically either:
1) using network-manager which should actually automatically do it, but always
askes for the passpharse instead; or
2) by having eth1 start from auto eth1 in /etc/network/interfaces which fails
either statically or dhcp, why I don't know.
Thanks for any suggestions. I need to be able to have this box come up and
attach to the network over eth1 without any intervention.
