Hi,

After installing Etch on my AMD64 machine I suddenly have an extra
eth1
without actually having an NIC. I cannot activate it  in the "Network
settings" applet but it is shown during boot and in the output of
ifconfig (without ip address). Can anyone give me clue as to where
this
eth1 is comming from ? Is that related to my next question (IP6)?  Or
maybe firewire ?


I also have a "sit0" which appears to be a IPv6-in-IPv4 address. Is
that
correct? IS there any documentation available a to why that is (I have
nothing configured myself, there is nothing about IP6 I can find on my
machine)?


Probably firewire.

Have a loog at dmesg, you should have something like that:

eth1394: $Rev: 1312 $ Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
eth1394: eth2: IEEE-1394 IPv4 over 1394 Ethernet (fw-host0)



TIA

There is a good chance this is your Firewire interface. For instance, on my 
system:

$ ip link show
1: lo:  mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0:  mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:11:d8:68:f5:92 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth1:  mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ieee1394 00:11:d8:00:00:08:50:49 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: sit0:  mtu 1480 qdisc noop
link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

Notice that eth0 is link/ether (Ethernet) and eth1 is link/ieee1394 
(Firewire).

sit0 is a generic device that will AFAIK always be around if you have IPv6 
support, whether or not that support is configured.
