Network works off CD, not off HD install
I have a machine with 2 ethernet cards. The CD boots up and the nics work. After the HD install ifconfig only shows lo, and ifup eth1 (or 0) gives me:
Ignoring unknown interface eth1=eth1.
$ dmesg | grep eth
eth0: NatSemi DP8381[56] at 0xe08ea000, 00:02:e3:15:65:7a, IRQ 10.
eth1: VIA 6102 Rhine-II at 0xe0822200, 00:0d:87:5f:73:0e, IRQ 11.
eth1: MII PHY found at address 1, status 0x786d advertising 05e1 Link 0021.
eth1: MII PHY found at address 2, status 0x0000 advertising 0000 Link e000
eth1: MII PHY found at address 3, status 0x0000 advertising 0000 Link e000
eth1: MII PHY found at address 4, status 0x0000 advertising 0000 Link e000
So the kernel sees them, just doesn't bind the driver to them. lsmod shows natsemi and via-rhine as loaded but (unused).
Any clue what the problem is?

Probably they are not properly configured in the /etc/network/interfaces file. So what do you have in the file for settings? A few other details like how do you connect with the card(s), actually seeing the output of the ifconfig -a (ifconfig only gives you configured interfaces) would be helpfull. It should be as simple as opening a console window and using su to become root and running netcardconfig to configure the interface you need with the proper settings, which would be DHCP if it connected from the running CD.

Yup, it really was that simple. Thank you!
