Compare /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf, and /etc/resolv.conf from your
debian installation with your lfs one.
Where I fell over was running /etc/rc.d/init.d/network at startup and it
would set up an 'ifconfig' command.
/Wildly guessing because we weren't told
If you have one of the modems that have a dhcp server, you need dhclient
or dhcpcd and you need to let that set your card up.
ifconfig simply sets the card; it doesn't introduce everything to each
other, and set them talking. There's different ways of doing that
(pppoe, dhcp, etc.)
If the above wild huess was wrong, explain your network.
