"ifup: configuration for eth0 not found" - I had already tried that.

That's what I thought, but still after "exit" I get the "Running in
chroot" messages :-(

As usual, lots of detail if you already understand it, but it seems to
rely on you knowing URLs.  I thought I could simply copy the URL from
this system, adapting the version if it looked necessary, but if I
look at Edit on the add-media page of MCC it just says $MIRRORLIST -
and "echo $MIRRORLIST" doesn't tell me anything at all.

There's obviously a real problem with the Intel drivers being removed
by accident during the update.  For everyone's sake, I'd like to try
to identify the problem, but I feel as though I'm banging my head
against a brick wall.
