Hi, I couldn't figure out why the network wouldn't come up, untill I saw this: hugo@debian:~$ dmesg | grep -i eth [ 1.181349] 8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.3 (Mar 22, 2004) [ 1.229553] 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28 [ 1.231041] eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0x3000, 00:0a:e4:eb:04:59, IRQ 20 [ 9.727658] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 [ 21.532930] eth1: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 [ 32.464023] eth1: no IPv6 routers present Why would udev rename the interface?
Thanks for the helpful answers. Of course the NIC changed, what am I saying? Acc. to my records this system was generated on 03/10/10 from a lenny d-i on an 8VTAI mobo. After that it was upgraded repeatedly and moved around via mondo. Then via another post: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/09/msg01677.html I installed the latest sid debian kernel and booted that on an acer aspire laptop: changing the NIC and the MAC address.
