"Has been used with the card plugged in during all up time. no card removals/insertions yet." ok, i boot up with the card in and see: ... #l0: i82557: 10Mbps port 0x180 irq 11: 00000000FEF1 #Y0: Lucent Technologies; WaveLAN/IEEE; Version 01.01; irq 3, port 180 wavelanreset, iob 0x180 #l1: wavelan: 10Mbps port 0x180 irq 3: 00022D65C81A #U/usb0: uhci: port 0x1860, irq 11 ... hmm... i'm not a hundred percent sure how to read all that, but it looks ok to me. if i now poke around... term% cd '#Y' term% ls cb0ctl cb1ctl term% cd '#l' term% ls ether0 term% ether0 is my builtin ethernet. no sign of ether1 anywhere. should i see it? things seemed to get recognized at boot up. any suggestions/advice? john cummings cummij@rpi.edu
