Never was a card. This is an on-board ethernet, just as previously. More background: this is a new mobo and new video card but the same cpu. The new combo booted fine, everything mounted but needed to be tweaked, naturally. I took the opportunity to replace the 2.6.20-r6 kernel with the 2.6.23-r6 Somehow, the OS(udev?) still thinks it's using the old ethernet plus the new one...guessing here. I noted also a broken runlevel with regard to net.eth0 which I deleted. Hopefully that's the fix. Should know next boot. But doesn't explain(at least to me) why eth0 is now defunct. If all I have is one ethernet port, doesn't that default to eth0? mw ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
