I get the same result on the non-connecting machine as on this one : [root@localhost btth]# lspci bash: lspci: command not found [root@localhost btth]# lsmod bash: lsmod: command not found [root@localhost btth]# > These need to be run from a CLI. Actually, I got into linux in the first place (with RH 7.2) in order to be able to run Pine, which I had had at work over a telnet link to an AIX machine in the IT division -- and what I liked and still do about Pine is that it is command-line driven; but it's still the one app that my fingers know, without requiring conscious direction. What's left of my memory seems to have woefully buttery linux fingers; there are a few things I now do with the CLI for preference -- namely of course the ones I do most often. But when in doubt, I always try the GUI first, because my visual memory works better -- and me a linguist <sigh...> > P.S.

Last time I had any of the sort, with FC2 or 3 iirc, I did in fact work entirely by editing .conf files -- with a helpful soul walking me through -- but I disremember which .conf files they were ...<whimper, sniff ...> SO : it's possible that someone put a second card in there for me at some time -- but I don't recall it. Therefore, given that lspci and lsmod aren't getting anything, how do I check?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.
