i try again to explain

as root after you start the motorola eth0 . look at the /etc/fstab?? file if theres an entry about the motorola eth0 modem , move that line above the?? ( #dynamic entrys)?? line so it will be permanent .

jim

I'm not sure that's correct.

I'm not sure that's correct. Does a eth0 device get mounted?

Anyway before you try "fancy" things, make sure that you have eth0 enabled to start at bootup, take a look in Mepis System Center, eth0 tab.

whoops

looks like i put you on the wrong track ! did you try Mepis System Center on the eth0 tab and check the start at boot box ??? if you did and it still doesnt work can you post your version of Mepis and how youre starting eth0 ? may have to do a rethink on this .
regards jim

grub boot

I checked the box, thank you for your interes !
