That's probably what's fried (or simply erased). I have never seen a BIOS update clear the MAC either ... that is why I am surprised at this. I do have a second NIC that is on the mobo that works fine so I have a work-around. Oddly enough, the forgetful NIC does seem to work properly once Fedora boots up. The issue is that I can't rely on MAC address identification to allow my router to assign the same address (and forward ports to it) using DHCP since NetworkManager is picking a random MAC and slowly incrementing the ethX device every boot. The secondary issue is that it is making a mess in my /etc/sysconfig/networking/ directory by not clearing out old entries. The only indication I get that it is getting cleared is that Windows reports it as having a MAC of 00:00:00:00:00:00. I was just wondering if there was another way to address a NIC (PCI ID?) to be able to assign it a consistent MAC on each boot. /Mike -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
