Using Debian Jessie, new install Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E/RTL8102E PCI Express Fast Ethernet controller (rev 07)
When I type this "ifup eth0" into a root terminal get this message: bound to 192.168.2.2 -- renewal in 2147483648 seconds. /etc/network/if-up.d/00check-network-cable: 72: local: detected:: bad variable name run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/00check-network-cable exited with return code 2 Failed to bring up eth0. But the Ethernet connection works? So really nothing to complain about, it just seems strange. But what does concern me is when I type "ifdown eth0" the Ethernet connection does **not** terminate and I get this message: ifdown eth0 ifdown: interface eth0 not configured I wonder if anyone might know what is configuring the Ethernet? My /etc/network/interfaces reads: # The primary network interface # allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp In the past ifup and ifdown have always worked as expected? This the ifupdown package installed: ifupdown - high level tools to configure network interfaces TIA Charlie -- Registered Linux User:- 329524 *********************************************** If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want. - Oscar Wilde *********************************************** Debian GNU/Linux - just the best way to create magic ----------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
