I think that mac uses the bmac Ethernet device that my B+W G3 uses, I also had the same problems. I wrote to YDL as there was a definite bug in the installer that wasn't picking up the right chip, they issued a fix a few days later. Have a look at this <http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/support/> Read the section about Ethernet detection on B&W G3s. I'm certain this is related as ISTR the wallstreet uses the same bmac Ethernet chip. Hope this helps Colin _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
