Hi ernst, I use debian on a laptop as well. My guess is, your ethernet card is a pcmcia card. Now, you probably have configured eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces. My advice is: don't. Configure your network in the pcmcia configuration. That way, eth0 will be configured when pcmcia starts. So, first you should remove the part about eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces. Next, you should configure the pcmcia networking options to use dhcp. I don't use dhcp myself, so what follows is an (educated) guess: In /etc/pcmcia there should be a file network.opts. In there, there is probably a line saying DHCP="n" Change the n to y. Restart pcmcia.
