The kernel current for Debian Testing is linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64 and your 3.1 would be quite a bit older. The first thing I would try would be to upgrade to the current Testing kernel. The linux-image-amd64 is a pseudo package that will always depend upon the current kernel. I imagine that you don't have it installed and therefore your apt is not automatically offering newer kernels for upgrade. I am pretty sure that 3.1 dates from 7 Jan 2012. > Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

The NetworkManager package replaces (replaced?) "iface eth0 inet dhcp" with "#NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp" but in your case that seems to have been munged. Since you have replaced the above with a full static IP setting just remove that entire "NetworkManager#iface eth0 inet dhcp" line. I doubt this is your problem but since I don't know what effect that will have it might be the problem. > auto eth0 > iface eth0 inet static > address 192.168.25.150 > netmask 255.255.255.0 > gateway 192.168.25.1 > dns-search tc.ph.cox.net > dns-nameservers 68.2.16.25 68.2.16.30 Looks okay.
