I had the same problem.
The mistake was made while installing.
It is not possible to change things, e.g. having to configure more
than one ethernetcard.
I made a script of my own need and everythings works as I wanted it
to work. So, first man ifconfig, then man route and if needed, you might
start your script with init.d.
At next installing don't mention any NIC at all. The debian way to do
is a kind of mystery. When there's enough time I will rebuild it.
Are you seriously telling people that you can't add a NIC to Debian
without re-installing? Get a life.
Now, if you're using some pointy-clicky lindows thingy, perhaps. Get
rid of it.
udev should find all your hardware. If you find it doesn't, do the
old-fashioned method. Find the right module (read the kernel-docs, read
the chips on your NIC, match them up), and insmod it. If you need
parameters its easier (if you want a bit of a GUI) to install modconf
which will ask for the parameters and put them in the right place.
Your module name would go under /etc/modules and be loaded at each boot.
Once you have an eth* you can then go ahead and put it in
/etc/network/interfaces.
Done.
The Debian way isn't a mistery. Read the debian-manual, man pages, and
if necessary, ask here.
Doug.
