Thanks for the suggestion I will boot with both and compare the output of lsmod and dmesg. I remember 2 things at least. The old cd uses a 2.4.x kernel and the code for the network adapter is compiled into the kernel, whereas the newer cd uses a 2.6.x kernel and the code for the kernel is compiled as a module. But I will take a look in about ten hours after I get back from work. t-ir > > > Sebastian > > -- > Sebastian Flothow > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. > > Why is top posting frowned upon? > > > -- > [email protected] mailing list -- [email protected] mailing list
