Do you mean you've tried plugging this USB LAN adapter in after you boot up to the desktop and it is not automatically seen? Did you try another Linux Live CD/DVD that is friendlier than Centos/Red Hat? I usually use mine when the on-board LAN is not seen. Joan in Reno

You wrote: l've used one of these with Puppy Linux and a few other distros, but never had to issue any commands in a terminal. It seems to auto-detect my 16-port switch via 2Wire U-Verse modem. What distro are you using and desktop GUI? Joan in Reno I wrote: I am using Cenros 5 and the GUI is Gnome. In Gnome, I access the Network Configuration from the System Administration menu. On the Network Ctonfiguration menu I see the Device eth0 Ethernet type which is now connected to the internet. The only other Device shouing is a wlan wlan0 wireless and is inactive. I do not see the USB Ethernet Adapter that is now connected to one of my USB ports. When I try to add a new Ethernet connection I am presented with a list of adapters. None of the adapters on the list resemble the "THE INTELLINET ADAOTER" which is what is written on the adapter. I tried to use one on the list that reads "USB CDC Ethernet driver" When I tried to activate this driver, I was told that an unhandled exeption has occured....a bug and to save the crash dump to a file and send to bugzilla!
