cat /proc/cpuinfo
will list processor 0 and 1 if it finds them. You can run the above command from any terminal as a

cat /proc/cpuinfo | less

/etc/network/interfaces file.
change:
"allow-hotplug eth0"
to:
"auto eth0"
I'm not sure what is causing the problem and don't know which package to file a
bug against.
