They are built into the motherboard. Possibly what config file would hold this info? > Has kudzu been run since the motherboard was reinstalled? Forgot to mention, when first boted Kudzu said a card had been removed, I said OK, it then said it found some cards, I said OK, it then offered to copy over the network configuration, I agreed with that as well. Rebooting since (checking CMOS settings) kudzu runs during bootup but doesn't find anything, if I run it after bootup it also doesn't find anything. -- Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
