[Quantian-general] problem w network on reboots

[jack byers]

quantian0;7.9.2.iso  booted via grub as per the quantian lilogrub.howto
created persistent knoppix disk image,
this keeps my home dir files safe for reboots

1) puzzling problem with network upon rebooting
if i reboot from quantian back into quantian,
the network is fine, still up upon reboot

but if i first reboot from quantian to my fc5
and then reboot from fc5 back into quantian
the network is misconfigured in an odd way

eth0 not shown by ifconfig
ifup eth0 says it is already configured

oddest of all:
trying to reconfigure the network card
 get response   no supported network cards found


rebooting a 2nd time into quantian
fixes the network problem with no configuration effort

-----
2)  if i also do the save knoppix configuration
  it creates  the configs.tbz and knoppix.sh  as expected

  --is this really needed, since i already have the persistent home?
   i.e. it seems there is a  lot of duplicated saving of files
    inside the configs.tbz  and  inside  the knoppix.img

  with the configs.tbz, reboots  from quantian to quantian
  are less perfect, have go thru the network card config again,
    i am using static ip, so the reconfig is mainly just saying no to dhcp
    and oking all following screens

  if i then just rm the configs.tbz, knoppix.sh
  and test the quantian to quantian reboot
   the network is up wo any config as before


thanks for any advice
Jack
