I don't think you are wrong, and what you used in this post is precisely what I considered confusing for the rest of the discussion. I know that many times, when I get focused on solving a problem, I miss the basics. I hope he either gets his card to come up or posts the results of 'dmesg | grep Ethernet' to determine whether the driver was loaded. That particular driver needs mii, and CRC32--I think that's the one--to run and his info didn't include whether or not those two things were configured. > >> I'm coming back to LFS after a number of years and so my detailed >> knowledge of how things work has many, many "rust spots." > I hesitated, could not remember anymore if you had written to have been > away for some years or if Alan had written it.

Your response was fine. In fact, you sorted through all the responses and gave a great summary. I hope that you and anyone else who frequents this list will excuse and help me polish any rust spots that I show. Because if it's not the driver for his card, I'll drop out of the help race. When it comes to networking I forget things faster than I learn them. :) And that's hard to do.
I saw what xinglp posted and am on guard for it. Thankfully I haven't run into anything yet. But thanks for the reminder. Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
