It now reports the MAC address of "00:04:5A:55:96:57". It does look like it's at least somewhat hardware-related. The one question I have, though, is why does this this card work with the wrong MAC address in Knoppix, but not in Fedora? Could it have to do with Kudzu segfaulting? Thanks for your help, everybody. --Dane -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
