Hi all, In a wild fit of Debian advocacy, I persuaded a colleague at work to partition the hard disk on his portable and install Debian.
Installation was a breeze...it put the PCMCIA stuff in and booted nicely with beeps and so on. But it had lost all the IP info and ifconfig eth0 got no such device errors. This is a real embarrassment. I have modprobed made sure the xirc2ps_cs module is loaded but no joy...I cannot configure a network. No such device type messages. Interface not recognised. Is there some obvious mistake I've made? For example, is the PCMCIA card called eth0? Or is there somewhere to find error messages? Help please!
