Right about here it should tell you what interfaces it found, like this: e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex It might be later on, if the cable is not plugged in, but somewhere it should tell you that. > and that looks good, but when I added the interface > in /etc/network/interfaces as eth2 and run ifup eth2 I get this: > > SIOCSIFADDR: No such device > eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device > SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device > SIOCSIFBRDADDR: No such device > eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device > eth2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device Are you sure this is eth2? Does 'ifconfig -a' show eth0 eth1 and eth2? Also, I ran into a problem where Dell packaged intel cards had the wrong PCI id's (they were Dell branded) and thus the modules never worked. I needed to add the PCI ids into the source and recompile the module. Not hard, but kind of frustrating. You might double check that too. Jay -- Jay Kline http://www.slushpupie.com/
