eth0 doesn't seem to be what it has been anymore. You probably compiled |
| 22 |
a new kernel with some extra network drivers (USB devices? Firewire?). |
| 23 |
Looking at the "MAC" address above, I'd say it's something designated |
| 24 |
for a peer-to-peer connection. |

use "ifconfig -a" to find your real network interface. If it's not |
| 27 |
shown there (under different name, of course), you're probably missing |
| 28 |
the right modules. You might want to use udev to give your interfaces a |
| 29 |
persistent naming in the future, that will save you these troubles. |
