WLAN and Ethernet
 

Hi there,

I've installed Debian on my notebook with an internal ethernet-adapter an a cisco pcmcia-wireless lan card. Everything really worked fine (I thought). The WLan-Card works. But not the ethernet.
After having played around with some settings I managed it to work in my private subnet. But still the ethernet-card refuses to accept a dhcp-IP from my router.
By the way when using ethernet the WLAN-card is not in ther notebook!

aaahm Kernel is...2.4.19-xfs

thanks a lot

Ähhhm, ok...got it fixed myself ;-)

Just in case anyone else out there is having this same problem, could post what you did to fix it? Thanks!:D

well i figured out that eth0 got no IP and wasn't up, so i've set its IP to 0.0.0.0
ifconfig eth0 up started it and it took the dhcp-IP. after that i had to add a route to the default gateway an the interface worked ;-)

On behalf of others in the future searching for this issue--thank you.:)
