Exactly this is considered inappropriate here, at this list.
First, the official language of debian-user is English.
Second, forum links are volatile, today they work, and tomorrow they do
not.
The essential thing that I saw there was:
eth1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 00:e0:4c:53:44:58 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Which shows us that:
1) Either your Ethernet cable is damaged, or it simply is not connected
at other side. Or maybe you're trying to use cross-over Ethernet cable
instead of straight-through one, or vise versa. In short, OSI Layer 1
problem.
2) Or, advertised 100Mbps full-duplex Ethernet frames are simply not
being accepted by the other side. That's OSI Layer 2 problem.
I'd start with replacing the cable, followed by disabling autonegotiation,
and tinkering with full-duplex/half-duplex modes (ethtool), and as a
last resort I'd consider both kernel upgrade or replacing the faulty
device altogether.
For instance, ASIX AX8817X based USB-Ethernet converters simply work for
me, and even advertise 1Gbps (limited to 300Mbps in practice, of course).
