question about network card setting in Debian Etch - please help
Hi all
I have question about network card in etch
1/ I have 2 optical fibre cards.
one is Intel 2 ports and one is Dlink 1 port
"dmesg | grep eth" can show
e1000: eth0 intel pro/1000 network connection
e1000: eth1 intel pro/1000 network connection
eth2: D-link DGE-550SX
but when I type ifconfig?
it only shows eth7 and eth8 for Intel card
and the eth1 becomes Dlink card
I don't configure the /etc/network/interface
how debian configure the card in eth0.1..2.3
and
what file in debian to control the card?
I am confused!
2/ what is function of "allow-hotplug" in the
/etc/network/interface?
Sometime I comment it, the card doesn't show up!
3/ When i change the file in /etc/network/interface,
Can i restart the network without rebooting?
how?
Thank you for your help
