That should be wlan0 for wireless, not eth1. But if you use wicd to manage wireless and/or ethernet, you should not put anything in /etc/network/interfaces for any interface wicd manages. For info on alternatives for setting up wireless, see: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/Wifi If you continue to have problems getting ethernet to work, please send us output from: /sbin/ifconfig eth0 lsmod | grep atl1c uname -r dmesg | egrep '(eth[[:digit:]]|atl1c)' as well as the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces and any other particulars you deem to be relevant.
