Would love to oblige, but somehow after a reboot, all my network
interfaces are missing!

  $ sudo ifup eth1
  Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.0.3

  For info, please visit ...

  SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
  eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
  eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
  Bind socket to interface: No such device
  Failed to bring up eth1

How did this happen, and what can I do about it?

Thanks!
