My dell laptop E6510 had its motherboard replaced (as it turned out, for
no good reason) and now the wired ethernet fails.
ajglap gottlieb # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
* Bringing up interface eth0
* ERROR: interface eth0 does not exist
* Ensure that you have loaded the correct kernel module for your hardware
* ERROR: net.eth0 failed to start
I am hoping it is some wrong setting in the bios, but the only one I see
says the ethernet can be disabled enabled enabled (with pxe)
I tried both of the enabled variants with the same outcome.
I don't think I changed the kernel during that time, but I did try two
older kernels; again with no change. I believe I have the correct
driver built into the kernel
ajglap gottlieb # lspci -v
