By using I/O Registry Explorer, part of the X11 stuff, and downloadable from Apple's web site, or elsewhere. An 8169 is 0x8169, 0x10ec. 0x10ec represents Realtek (not assigned by Realtek ... incredibly enough, Intel is 0x8086 in this position). 0x8169 represents the PCI card's chip which, in some early models, is on the motherboard. The much more recent PCI-e gigabit E-net from Realtek is 0x8168, 0x10ec. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
