It means that the driver installed successfully, but it doesn't know which piece of hardware in your system it belongs to. In short, you to update your /etc/driver_aliases to point that driver at that piece of hardware. You do that by using the "update_drv" command, like so: update_drv -a -i '"pciXXXX,XXXX"' vr Replace the pciXXXX,XXXX above with your actual hardware device id. You can discover what that is by: 1) running Applications -> System Tools -> Device Driver Utility program 2) right-clicking on the network device listed and selecting show details 3) using the "node name:" shown in the Device and Driver Details dialog Cheers, -- Shawn Walker
