On my laptop with discover (and not discover1), it hardly takes 3-4 seconds to figure out if any add-on module needs loading or not. I can bear that much time. And the reason to use discover is because it is one of the utilities similar to kudzu in RH. If udev misses to load something, chances are discover might detect and load it. Can you check and confirm if hotplug is able to detect both your ethernet cards ? - -- Ritesh Raj Sarraf RESEARCHUT -- http://www.researchut.com Gnupg Key ID: 04F130BC "Stealing logic from one person is plagiarism, stealing from many is research."
