That appears to be saying: Link UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Hmmm, it appears to have an IPv6 address of:
IPv6 compressed :
FE80::202:2DFF:FE7B:EDB<
http://ip-lookup.net/?FE80::202:2DFF:FE7B:EDB>
IPv6
uncompressed :
FE80:0:0:0:202:2DFF:FE7B:EDB<
http://ip-lookup.net/?FE80:0:0:0:202:2DFF:FE7B:EDB>
IPv6
fully uncompressed:
FE80:0000:0000:0000:0202:2DFF:FE7B:0EDB<
http://ip-lookup.net/?FE80:0000:0000:0000:0202:2DFF:FE7B:0EDB>
(Are you doing teredo tunneling on your network? Nevermind!)
So, you have a device, /dev/eth1, and ifconfig has entry for it and it's up.
What is your distro?
Just because you have noauto setup in the /etc/network/interfaces file
doesn't mean it's not going to come up on boot.
That is going to be configured in your
/etc/sysconfig/network-TAB/ifconfig-eth1.conf file.
You can do this also via menu based configuration tools under the System
Tab/Menu.
Are you using NetworkManager or wicd? Distro? (Paths are different based
on distro, and behavior of the network distro squeaky)
