ipw2200/eth1 does not exist after install [SOLVED]

Hello,

I just completed an install of 2008.0 on a Dell Latitude D810 laptop with an Intel wireless card. During the install it was picked up fine. I went through all of the normal steps via the quick install guide, but when I boot up I get:

"device eth1 does not exist"

Any ideas what is going on here? It was "eth1" during the install and I created a "net.eth1" in /etc/init.d via symlink to "net.lo" and set it to boot on startup. It worked fine during install, now booting in for the first time, nothing.

It could be eth0. Type iwconfig to see if your wireless shows up. Also see what you get when you enter ifconfig -a.

Blessed be!

IIRC, you also have to download the firmware. Try
