 Hi,





/etc/network/interfaces seemed ok but it did have eth0, eth1 and eth2
entries.? I assume that this is due to my modprobe commands.





/etc/iftab was empty except for comments.? I filled in the mac for
eth0 and now I can ping other boxes with no problems.? I still can
not make Firefox work on the web.? I'll double check my gateways
and possibly even try rebooting the box, but I think I may still have
one more issue.





Thanks,


Bruce

Try



sudo modprobe 8139too



if that returns no errors, and actually works,  add 8139too on a separate

line to /etc/modules so it will load on boot:



echo "8139too" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules



or use an editor.



You presumably now have two ethernet cards in your system - you might

check to see if they are listed in /etc/iftab ( although IIRC that file no

longer exists by default) Possibly the system is still trying to use the

old card. I think you could disable the old module

in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist , if necessary.



lsmod



should tell you which modules are actually loaded
