The ethernet interface is RUNNING only when there's a cable attached. On the Toshiba, Sony, and Dell, ifconfig shows lo, eth0, and wlan0 at all times. Only lo and EITHER eth0 or wlan0 is RUNNING depending on whether there's an ethernet cable stuck in the side. The configuration of networking on the Sony is exactly the same as it is on the Dell except for the host IP address; they're both running Slackware-13.37/x86_64 and both have /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf configured the same way but for the specific host IP address.
