Public bug reported:
My motherboard is an A8N-VM CSM from Asus.
On this board there is only one ethernet controller:
00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1)
This system used to run Fiesty Fawn (x86 server). I had no problem with
it and the only ethernet port was referenced as eth0.
Then I decided to give Gusty Gibon (x86_64 server) a try. I wiped out my
disks and installed it from scratch. Everything went fine.
But when I reboot I discovered that no ethernet port was configured.
looking at /etc/network/interfaces it sounded like the installation
script detected and configured an eth0 port.
But running "ifconfig -a" I discovered that there was no eth0 port
available but only one eth1.
So patching the /etc/network/interfaces, replacing eth0 with eth1 fixed
the problem.
However it is still a strange behavior and this could certainly be
puzzling for a beginner.
Here is a short extract form my dmesg:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dmesg | grep eth
[ 18.288834] forcedeth.c: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version
0.60.
[ 20.885103] forcedeth: using HIGHDMA
[ 21.409823] eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 01043:8141 bound to 0000:00:14.0
[ 43.128645] eth1: no IPv6 routers present
I am not sure the fact that I went from an x86 to an x86_64 release does
matter so much but ... there is still something strange on this AMD64
release (not sure is the same is true for the x86 release).
