i've removed them with route and then done add to put them back, I've
reinstalled from scratch again, I can bring eth0 up and down with ifconfig
and it looks like it ought to work... but doesn't.

I added the info during the debian install. I don't have so much as a
decent text editor on this system as yet as I need net access to install
stuff. I don't seem to have tcpdump either
It's a new box, but the nic has been tested and does work as do the cables
etc. All that is on it is a very bare bones debian system. I've done this
before on a different machine, same nic and it 'just worked' so i'm not
sure where else I can look for info or things to configure.
