Your comment ....<<<as far as your eth0 theory goes. >>> is VERY puzzeling. I did NOT say any such a thing. Quoted I said....
<<<>> Like ethernet is named " Auto eth0 " by default or you will never got online...>>> It HAS to be " Auto eth0 " which is capital A and then space and then eth and number zero together as "Auto eth0" . This is NOT theory but reality with Ubuntu Linux. I have tried several versions of Ubuntu and derivitives. They ALL have the ethernet dsl Connection Manager pre-set with the Connection Name as Auto eth0. Again, this is not my "theory" - it is fact. Run a Live Distro of Ubuntu Linux and you will see this as it does this ALSO on the Live Distro which is like a demo mode without installing with somewhat limited functionality but indeed has instant connectivity through ethernet with the Connection Name Auto eth0 in the in the default Connection Manager included in Ubuntu Linux. "udev" concerns peripherals (add on hotplugging Printers, Drives, USB Microphones, mobile computers, etc.) it is the Device Manager in the Linux Operating System udevFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udev udev is the device manager for the Linux kernel. Primarily, it manages device nodes in /dev. It is the successor of devfs and hotplug, which means that it handles the /dev directory and all user space actions when adding/removing devices, including firmware load.

The "ethernet card" is part of the main frame if you will. (I have a computer degree in old IBM card computer monsters and like the older descriptions) - main frame as a general slang phrase used here meaning for the computer itself - with all that was built by self or included as at purchase point including desktops, laptops, notebooks, netbooks. you wrote..... > I dialed up for years in Linux. > I've used eth1 sometimes myself as far as your eth0 theory goes.
