Hi everybody, my network problem are now due to MAC address. Kernel does not read it and forcing the value via ifconfig does not solve the problem. I need to merge the old driver, which detects MAC addr but eth0 link is down, with the new one that does the contraty..... opsss.... I could have a not working at all driver.... :(( A. -- Arianna Arona Servizi Informatici Dipartimento di Scienze dell'Informazione Via Comelico 39 20135 Milano
