I recently got a DSL connection at home. When I first installed Linux in this machine at home it did not have an ethernet card. I used to use ppp to connect to the net. This machine is running slink from the mid-feb time-frame.
I copied over /etc/init.d/network from another Debian box and edited the IP, GATEWWAY etc. parts. I notice that I do not have /dev/eth*. How do I create these /dev/eth* entries? Plug: Brad in Kingston technologies' tech support line was really helpful. I called Kingston expecting the "I'm sorry. We do not support Linux" response. I asked Brad what chipset theit KNE110/TX PCI ethernet cards were based on. He immediately pulled up a URL which talks about Linux support for this card (http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/pnic.html) and emailed it to me.
