Sounds like either your second card uses a different driver than the first card and it isn't loaded, or it's not working properly. My guess is the first... The SIOCGIFFLAGS is a flag to the ioctl() system call, which is attempting to get the flags for the interface (IIRC it stands, more or less, for [S]ocket [I]/[O] [C]ontrol, [G]et [I]nter[F]ace [FLAGS]). If the call fails with a device not found error, it's usually either because there's no such card, there's no driver for it loaded, or it's not working. Check the output of ifconfig -a to see if the kernel sees the card. Also, make sure you're using the right device name for it. If it's a token ring card, for example, it's not eth1. The right name might depend on the driver... - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
