eth0 not recognized:school system

[Tyler Littlefield]

hello,
I am replying to the first post in response I think, as that's the top of 
the thread for me.
Anyway, it was udev, and I just replaced it with hotplug.
More and more things seem to be breaiking with debian lately, now bash 
requires udev for completion if you upgrade bash, but udev isn't  a required 
package.
There's a ln hack you can use, but it seems like packages aren't coming with 
the proper dependencies.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I personally didn't mind udev--until it decided to rename nic interfaces, 
anyway. That broke a lot of scripts from startup and others.
