Good to hear you got it going, but do upgrade your kernel -- the driver should work without problems. How can I know which port is eth0 and which eth1 ?

Yes, you can -- as usual in Linux, there are several ways. Check out http://www.science.uva.nl/research/air/wiki/LogicalInterfaceNames -- the script /share/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/get-mac-address.sh comes with the ifupdown package. Does that mean that the port assignment COULD potentially change after each reboot !? And I need a special script to adjust /etc/network/interfaces !? Hard to believe... [[ OK - I just started reading the mentioned wiki web page and here is a quote just for documentation purposes: """ One of the problems of Linux is that the order of the network interfaces is unpredictable. Between reboots it does stay the same, but it is very well possible that after an upgrade to a new kernel or the addition or replacement of a network card (NIC) that the other of all network interface changes. For example, what used to be eth0 now becomes eth1 or eth2 or visa versa. """ ]] Is "forcedeth" the only possible driver ? Just curious ... Yes -- and it works great! Thanks, good to know.

Upgrading to testing
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is my first post to this list. I am running Sarge at the moment but would like to upgrade to testing. I have been using the 64-bit version for just two weeks. I have run testing for about two years on a 32-bit box. The first time I tried an upgrade, it broke due to Xorg. I couldn't fix it no matter what I tried so I reinstalled. Now I am dead scared to upgrade - but I need to do so in order to get my nForce-based sound card working as the module for the card is only available in the kernel images in etch. Having read some help pages, I think the following will help me check if things will break again: Change sources.list to testing Run apt-get -s update, then run apt-get -s dist-upgrade Then if there are no messages about incompatibilities, go ahead and do the real thing. Can someone tell me if this is the right path to take?
