Debian 4 Etch testing and my network card

[Mandalf]

I have run my computer under kubuntu a long time and I wnted a change. So I downloaded Debian 4 Etch testing with KDE.

To connect to internet im using an Ethernet Card. I have an ADSLmodem and router to it. In windows and Kubuntu it works well. In Kubuntu I need to edit tow files(/etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist(something)) and reboot to get it working.

First I installed Debian Sarge 3.1 and everyting works well. But I want newr programs and stuff so I downloaded Debian 4 Etch to try it.

This is my problem, my network dosent work in 4 Etch but it works in 3.1 Sarge.

My networkcard is 5 years old...

I Just get home from school and when I shut down the comupter it's comes mutch text as normal and in the textmasses i saw something like this:
"Cannot read /etc/network/interfaces"

Then I rebooted the computer and the file exists


btw. I have no "ifconfig" command in the terminal.

And i have ideas of changing networkcard between my server and my desktop computer.

What do you have in /etc/network/interfaces ?

cat /etc/network/interfaces

And what about the exact model of your network card ?

lspci | grep -i ethernet

What do you have in /etc/network/interfaces ?

cat /etc/network/interfaces

The output was:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth1
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
iface eth1 inet static
address 169.254.224.224
netmask 255.255.0.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.34
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

auto eth1

And what about the exact model of your network card ?

lspci | grep -i ethernet

The card is:
02:09.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 31)

Wow, your /etc/network/interfaces is a complete mess. No chance it will work like that. Perhaps you want something more like that :

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.34
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

About your network card, it should work with the tulip module.

Ok, This working mutch better. But my connection die every ~10 seond like in Kubuntu before I edited the (/etc/modules and /etc/modprobed.d/blacklist (I have change it back)), going to try change it again. I hope it works

Tanx Guys!

I had an old modem(56Kb/s) in my computer, I picked it out and reconfigure the network
