I absolutely agree that it should all just work. The reason for my playful jab about the serial port is that I recommended the Intel board exactly because of the Realtek chip on the GigaByte board, but then you bought the GigaByte board anyway, against my recommendation. At that time I don't recall you mentioning needing a serial port. Maybe I have you confused with another OP here. If so, my apologies. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
