Is this copy-pasted from fstab?

Could you please post the relevant log lines and exact comand line that 
works

Device names may change from hda to sda and so, I'm not aware of other 
changes.

This lacks a lot of information to be able to start guessing what's 
wrong and it would be better to start a separate thread about it.

Please include at a minimum your /etc/network/interfaces (or mention if 
you use network-manager), the relevant lspci line, the relevant lines in 
dmesg and the output of 'ifconfig -a' and 'uname -a'.
