That card is to ubiquitous to have disappeared out of the kernel, I think. Undertake the info gathering and debug thing: check dmesg - is the card found? Check /var/log/messages for related messages. Do lsmod to see if module is loaded (I suspect not). See if you can manually do it (insmod or modprobe the driver, try to manually config card, ...). That may give your answer. Or it may give at least some clue. Look in the modules directory to see if the module exists? Armed with that, someone might be able to help. > > Thanks > > Clive > <snip sig stuff> I'd offer more, but the one I'm running right now has the gigabit Realtek, not the 10/100. HTH -- Bill
