OK, with net.eth0 stopped and the cable unplugged, eth0 does appear |
| 8 |
under ifconfig -a and not under ifconfig on my desktop. It sounds |
| 9 |
like this is normal behavior so the question becomes why does eth0 |
| 10 |
appear under ifconfig on my laptop with net.eth0 stopped and the cable |
| 11 |
unplugged? |

I thought it could be wicd on my laptop but I shut down the daemon |
| 14 |
with no change. |
