I thought it might have been something to do with needing udev, which I

story).
(sid with latest 2.6 kernels)
I have not removed udev from the laptops I was having wireless
configuration problems with but I just fixed my problem after
discovering that either udev or hotplug or something was no longer
calling my PCMCIA ethernet card eth0 and my wireless card eth1 but
calling whichever one was plugged in eth0. I edited
/etc/network/interfaces to reflect that and have my wireless back.
I am now trying to understand hotplug and ifplugd so I can plug either
or both cards in and have everything work. I discovered that Debian
Reference is much more complete than the last time I looked (a long time
ago) and should help.
