    Hi,

    Hysterically, after I reboot Debian, my eth0 device is gone.

    % networking start
    eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

    % ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.0.99 up
    SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
    eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
    eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

    Luckily, I managed to get it back. I'm just wondering,

    what could be the reason that I lost my eth0? I remove the
    discover package, could it be the reason? Is discover package
    really necessary?

    I get it back by

    modprobe sis900
    depmod -a

    Can the effect last beyond next boot (and beyond)?

    Thanks
