Well no, I didn't. Everything was fine and the same until it didn't. Actually it started with repetitive attempt to connect from a live cd 7.8 version which froze my internet box (router + TV). But the repetitive attempt seems to underline the existence of a pre-existing issue.. I guess. After that, I was unable to connect from any debian device. Even a mint live cd couldn't. But parted magic live cd could, fedora could. I then tried to install 8.1 but it wouldn't either and raise the home issue with it. All those happen on the workstation/tower. > Did > you move anyhting? Yes I actually change my home disk to another one, new, 1To Seagate. > What is the physical relationship, if any, between the > USB sticks and the tower? I installed all stick OSes with the station which failed first. I now have access only to one USB stick : 1 does not load X as said before and I have fedora now on the workstation (tower). A mysterious comrade who wants to remain anonymous it seems, I will call him Mr T. :), advised me to look into /etc/udev/rules : eth0 had been renamed to eth2 with eth0 bound to the tower MAC address (fedora today) and eth2 bound to another tower MAC address I tried the USB stick on after. I deleted the first tower line and updated the eth2 definition -> changing it to eth0 and now it works. But it still does not explain why the 7.8 and 8.1 did not, on the first tower ? And neither why the Mint live cd did not ? And as I can't reproduce the issue now, I may never know. > What does /etc/network/interfaces say? > > What is the result of > #ifconfig -a > ? Now the result is normal : http://pastebin.com/DDvQCePg I did try to get it during the 8.1 installation though, from the shell, but it seems that the installation shell lacks a lot of tools and I couldn't get a clear status of what happened there. So I guess this is it for this issue. > Why did you write /lspci -n/ when the instruction was lspci -n? Did you > try it without the fwd slash? Actually those are italic font markers, I did run the good command. Thanks to all for the good pointers, -- "One original thought is worth a thousand mindless quotings."
