Calendars working again this morning though set read-only again!! Weird. Nothing apparently changed overnight except client machines powered down then up again. This looks as if it may be difficult to pin down...

Now looking more closely at networking and NICs. When I changed motherboard in server, NIC changed from discrete 3Com 3C905 to integrated Atheros AR8131. On first boot after change, network was not brought up. New NIC was eth1 while old was eth0 so assuming the interface name had changed because the NIC had, I added a stanza in /etc/network/interfaces for eth1 using same details as for eth0 including same static IP address.

This approach does not seem to have caused problems since in general networking is fine.

However, looking at logs this morning, noticed two oddities:
- dmesg does not seem to have been generated since 18 July.
- in syslog at boot, there is line:
Oct 4 12:31:54 uranus kernel: [ 4.464417] udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1

I don't know enough to judge whether these are significant.
