You need to load your ethernet module (add it to /etc/modules or use modprobe by hand), then you need to add a section to /etc/network/interfaces for the new interface, then you run 'ifup <interface>', or '/etc/init.d/networking [re]start'
see 'man interfaces' for more about the interfaces file layout. > > Keith > -- > ________________________________________________________________________ > Keith O'Connell > Maidstone, Kent (UK) > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
