Here it is:
--- begin included file ---
~ $ more /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
iface eth1 inet dhcp
wireless-essid 06B410505753
auto eth1
--- end included file ---
I hadnt done anything intentionally to use this--i
wanted to be using NetworkManage for everything. How
do i go back?
Also, theres still the (probably bigger) problem that
2.6.18-5 doesnt find my wireless interface at all. And
that even though i upgraded to 2.6.18-6, this isnt
given to me as an option when i boot. Any thoughts
about those?
Thank you!
Jen
