[FSF-India] debian newbie

[Suraj Kumar S.]

try configuring with "xf86config". Do a "ps" and check if xfs is running,
otherwise do "/etc/init.d/xfs restart".

Check for you network card brand and load the particular module with "modprobe"
Most of the cards are "ne2k-pci" compatable.
so, just do 

  /sbin/modprobe ne2k-pci

This should detect your card and load the required modules.

now configure network with "ifconfig".

To make the network configurations permenent, make suitable changes in
"/etc/network/interfaces" file.

My "/etc/network/interfaces" file look something like this.

---------/etc/network/interfaces-------
# The loopback interface
iface lo inet loopback

# ethernet interface
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.32
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.1.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
