I've looked some through the forums but have not found a problem exactly like mine. I can get network access, but this is my annoying routine: on boot-up, I have to open a terminal, login as root, and run "ifconfig eth0 down." Then I use the "network card configuration" link in the penguin menu, double-click eth1, select DHCP, and everything works fine. Would someone please help me eliminate these steps? Why is there a 'fake' eth0 coming up at all?
Thanks.
That is indeed odd. What does lspci -v show, one or two NICs?Quote:

Could be firewire. Does the cheatcode nofirewire remove the couble nic problem?
Hi,

Do you need me to run this command as root?
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Markus, but, errr... I'm new to Knoppix. If it's no trouble, can you tell me how to enter a cheat code, or send me to the write manual to read? I'm having trouble finding how to pass cheat codes with hard drive installations.

Since you only have one Ethernet controller according to lspci I suspect the firewire is getting eth0. A quick and dirty fix would be to add to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh:
ifdown eth0
ifup eth1
pump -i eth1
But it's not very eloquent (probably misspelled that too). You could also have a look in /etc/network/interfaces and change eth0 to eth1.
Thanks, Markus! I'll try those out when I get home.
