Yes, and eth0 is working fine --- I couldn't send this email if it
didn't.
cat:~# dhcp_probe -f eth0
note: starting, version 1.3.0
error: get_myipaddr: couldn't locate interface eth0
error: couldn't determine IP addr for interface eth0
note: exiting
cat:~#
Now "ethstatus -i eth0" also works fine, but it also does when I don't
specify an interface. So I seem to have to specify the interface for
dhcp_probe, and to do that, I need to know what its designation is
since /dev/eth0 doesn't exist. Anyway, I'd like to know what happened
to /dev/eth0 and what to use instead.
