Okay, I booted the rc1 live image, and was able to get the following output from dhclient:

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. I'm not sure why it's not able to talk to the DHCP server (I'm online now after rebooting into Fedora, so it's not something simple like a loose cable) but this looks much more solvable than the previous situation. Could it be a driver problem? If so, I wouldn't expect it to correctly ID the card's MAC address, but who knows. :-P FWIW, this is a Dell Inspiron 1420n laptop; under Fedora, lspci reports: 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) There are other things I need to do right now, but later today I plan to actually install from the 7.0 image, and tinker some more. -- William Tracy [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vice President, Cal Poly Linux Users' Group http://www.cplug.org "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall, frequently mis-attributed to Voltaire ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2
