sounds like version differences in the ethernet drivers. i had a similar problem where i selected the proper driver for the card, but it did not initialize it properly so i installed the latest version of the driver and it began working. later, a kernel upgrade included the new driver and it worked fine after that. > > Bill Berks > _______________________________________________ > Vserver mailing list > [email protected] > http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver > -- Chuck "...and the hordes of M$*ft users descended upon me in their anger, and asked 'Why do you not get the viruses or the BlueScreensOfDeath or insecure system troubles and slowness or pay through the nose for an OS as *we* do?!!', and I answered...'I use Linux'.
