Sounds like eth0 is your wireless card, in which case you'll need to
install the wireless-tools package under debian in order to use it. I haven't
setup wireless cards, so can't help you there. Since I believe you
have a wireless nic, and a physical rj45 nic, the system is probably
bringing up your physical card as eth1, so try using that
instead. Ultimately, good old dmesg will tell you what's what, though
I can see why you wouldn't want to have a sighted person reading that
to you, though you could save the output to a file, and look at it
yourself under windows.
