[ts-7000] Losing eth0 Interface on 7800

["Robert Joslyn" <>]

I thought I’d try out the new dd image for the TS-7800 on the FTP site (2G-mSD-7800-10-10-10.dd.gz), but have been having some trouble with the network.  Booting the new image works great, but if I modify /etc/network/interfaces in any way, eth0 will disappear when restarting the network or rebooting.  For example, this is what the board says on boot now:

 

Setting up networking....

Configuring network interfaces...Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.1

SIOCSIFADDR: No such device

eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

Bind socket to interface: No such device

Failed to bring up eth0.

done.

 

It seems that eth0 has disappeared, and ifconfig only shows the loopback device.  Putting the config file back to the default settings (192.168.0.50, etc) does not fix the problem.  Any ideas?
