I've haven't seriously used fedoras earlier then 5, but with 5 there is something called NetworkManager which is responsible for configuring network interfaces, and is also responsible for loading networking modules into the kernel. If it is the culprit, then service NetworkManager stop should solve your problem. You can also disable it from starting up when the computer boots using chkconfig NetworkManager off -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
