Hi,

Just to shed a little more light on this problem. I just did some more
work on the laptop in question. I ignored the ethernet detection card
problem and proceeded to configure the wireless card (Intel ipw3945 card).
This seems to correspond to eth0, which is not conventional. I haven't
tried to get the ethernet card to work, but my guess is that it
corresponds to eth1. Not sure if this information is significant or not.


This reply is way to short, it only says

 See the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules


Sorry, I don't follow what you are trying to say.

Thanks.   Faheem.

 Hi,
 
  snip what=eth0 is wireless, but eth0 should be the wired one/
 
 
  See the file /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

do

  cat /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
  cp /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules /root/netdevicedefinition.backup

next

  $EDITOR /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

and swap eth0 and eth1
save the modified rules file
reboot

eth0 should now be the wired one


Hope this helps

Cheers
