Errr, sir... something goes wrong here. As per your "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules": eth0 -> realtek eth1 -> 3com But that is not what dmesg says above. Also, there is no "link up" or "link down" for eth1 but *both" eth0 going up. Not sure how to interpret that. > I made a minor effort earlier to suppress the IPv6 modules, but [a] > didn't succeed; and [b] hadn't suppressed them earlier with the > one-interface system so wasn't convinced it was worth trying - why > shouldn't this cause eth1 to quit as well as eth0?

How about your "/etc/network/interfaces"? Besides, you can make a quick probe by disabling "eth1" and test if the network works as expected ("ping" et al) and then disable "eth0" and perform the same test. I mean, test the network adapters "separately". Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
