-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 which has a built-in ethernet card, designated eth0, which command "lspci" identifies as follows:
Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) While this card works, by comparison with my desktops it seems sluggish. I would consequently like to try a D-Link PC ethernet card which I had been using with older laptops and which was much faster. However, I do not know how to activate it. The R61 knows it is there, as command "pccardctl ident 0" returns the following: product info: "D-Link", "DMF-560TXD DirectPort PC Card", "", "" manfid: 0x0143, 0xc0ab function: 0 (multifunction) (This card, by the way is both a 10/100 Mb LAN [RJ-45] and a 56K FAX/modem V.90 [RJ-11]. My interest now is to activate the LAN part.) I would like this card to be eth1; so I added an eth1 entry in file /etc/network/interfaces. This file now has three entries, as follows: auto lo iface lo inet loopback address 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp Running "ifdown eth0" will close etho, but "ifup eth1" returns error messages: "No such device". Obviously I am missing something, but I have been unable to discover what. I would be very appreciative if some one could tell me.
