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.
