The Etherfast seems to work fine with KnoppMyth, except that I have to manually

pump -i eth0

in order to get DHCP'd from my router. I was using the sk98l;in driver previously (for my built-in mobo NIC) but would always get the dreaded kernel panic attack on DHCP (it's a 3C940). I rmmod'd sk98lin.

Any idea why DHCP doesn't work 'out of the box'?

I would suspect it's because hotplug and network files in your rc5.d folder are in the wrong order. I am showing networking to be an order 35 program in rc0.d, but not seeing it at all in rc5.d. hotplug is showing up as an order 40 program in rc5.d, but not at all in rc0.d. You might check the instructions for using uptdate-rc.d and try changing the order for hotplug to 32 to see if networking will kick off pump on that device.

Something else to check on, (try this first) is to verify that you have a line in /etc/network/interfaces that reads as:

Code:
iface eth0 inet dhcp


Specifically check for the 'dhcp' attribute on the line. If that is not there, it may explain why you are not getting pump to run automatically.

Hope this helps.

actually the line I would be looking for in /etc/network/interfaces is

Code:
auto eth0

of course the previously mentioned line should be there as well, but without the auto line the interface will not load automatically on boot. useful if you have some interfaces you don't use often, but want them configured just not started on boot. I have a few interfaces that are not auto on my laptop.

My /etc/network/interfaces contains:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface etho inet dhcp

I would suspect that eth0 being assigned to loopback probably isn't good... :)

should probably look more like

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

at least that is how mine have always looked, although I have seen both auto lines at the top, so having both interfaces on one auto line may work as well I'm not sure, but I would change it if you are having problems.
