    I have a problem (or two) with networking... sometimes
    networking doesn't come up at all, and sometimes (all
    other times?) it uses the wrong address but otherwise
    works.

    When it uses the wrong address, I can simply
       root@bdi:/# ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
    and it is fixed, with no error.

    However, when it isn't up at all, ifup says it is
    already configured, ifconfig shows it down, and ifdown
    produces an error (SIOCDELRT: No such process).
    Once I've used ifdown, ifup works again, and it will
    use the correct address.

    running /etc/init.d/networking restart has the same
    result - it uses the correct address, and produces the
    error if networking wasn't working.

    I tried to add a link /etc/rc2.d/S99networkrestart to
    a script which would call /etc/init.d/networking
    restart - however it changed nothing. I have *never*
    had trouble with it not working from the prompt (i.e.
    doing it by hand)

    At first I thought it was related to the bug below...
    but this bug makes no mention of inconsistent
    operation or of the SIOCDELRT message.
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=267186

    Now I am wondering if it is hardware-related; I am
    using a motherboard with integrated ethernet: SiS900
    PCI Fast Ethernet (rev 83)

    ---------------------------------

    # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for
    ifup(8), ifdown(8)

    # The loopback interface
    # automatically added when upgrading
    auto eth0 lo

    iface lo inet loopback

    iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.4
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.0.1

    ------------------------
    When it chooses the wrong address, it seems to always
    use 192.168.0.2

    Thanks
    Mark
