Reading through the pppoe.lrp docs I hit on the answer to this question: because eth2 is brought up by the pcmcia package later in the boot process it is not supposed to be listed as "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces. Once I commented out the line 'auto eth2' all was well. --Eric House ****************************************************************************** * From the desktop of: Eric House, [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Crosswords 4.0 for PalmOS is out!: <http://www.peak.org/~fixin/xwords> * ****************************************************************************** _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
