The upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 on the laptop broke the networking
capability. The laptop connects to the LAN via a wireless card and I cannot
get it recognized and the network started.

   In /etc/networking/interfaces I see that there are three defined
interfaces:

iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0

iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto eth1

iface eth2 inet dhcp
auto eth2

   eth1 is supposed to be the wireless one; all three have static information
commented out.

   I tried 'ifconfig eth(n) up' without success. I also tried
'/etc/init.d/networking start' without success. Obviously, I'm missing
something simple here and would very much appreciate a clue stick. I need to
get the network up so I can upgrade the system to 9.04, re-learn how to fix
the networking if it breaks again, and return the machine to my wife so I
can get back to my work.

Thanks,

Rich
