Re: cant get eth0 online after new install

OK, brilliant, thanks James.

Now then : should then I change my installation to run cardmgr each
start ? should that become part of the std initmate distro ?

The best way to make these changes isn't clear to me just yet...

Thanks,
Chris

Also for information sake my familar cardmanager was in /boot/sbin/ and
my fstab had /boot = /dev/mtdblock/2 which had to be changed to /1
