RE: , I still have the problem that eth0 is auto-loaded Create/edit with: $ sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback # auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp ## end /etc/network/interfaces and on the next bootup, eth0 should not setup. Should you need it sometime, it can be manually activated with: $ sudo ifup eth0 during any current session, or permanantly by editing the # auto eth0 to auto eth0 MarvS On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 9:02 PM, Gord Caswell<ve4jhj@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Marv, > > I have managed to fix this problem.
