I guess that "ifconfig -a" reports all network interfaces recognized by the kernel (not only interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces). Also you can use "lshw -C network" instead of ifconfig (lshw uses sysfs) -- Saludos, Roberto De Oliveira -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
