Hi.Is the module for the nic listed in /etc/modules? Maybe dhclient runs before
I have a couple of Debian installs on my laptop, on one the eth0 NIC
comes up during the boot process, but on the other it doesn't, although
it's identified and there in dmesg. I'm using the same interfaces file
for both, but clearly I'm missing something - that I probably did in the
midst of time and have now forgotten.
/etc/network/interfaces says
auto eth0 inet dhcp
After boot, ifconfig shows no eth0, but "ifup eth0" says "eth0 already
configured". There is no way out at this point.
When I "ifdown eth0" followed "ifup eth0" (or dhclient eth0) all is
sweet.
What am I missing?
the module is loaded. Is the nic built in or on a card?
