You must have installed a package that provides this; you might look through the list of installed packages in something like aptitude. Looking through the links in /etc/rcS.d and /etc/rc2.d might also give you a hint of which package it is. > 2. eth0 is non-existant when dhcp attempts to connect for an IP, > hence it fails, as do my network mounts,etc. After boot I have to > issue a sudo pump -i eth0 to grab an address, then mount my shares. Do you have 'auto eth0' in your /etc/network/interfaces file? If so, take it out; then the network scripts won't try to bring up eth0 at boot time (before PCMCIA), but when pcmcia-cs discovers that you have a network card, it will run 'ifup eth0' on its own. (My impression is also that 'pump' is considered among the more, well, ghetto of the available DHCP clients, so you might try using 'dhcp-client' instead if you have weird DHCP problems.) So, your /etc/network/interfaces file should look (very loosely) like auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
