Thanks. I've done this without success early in the troubleshooting, unfortunately it did not work even after i made a few guess changes to /etc/network/interfaces, like commenting out the hostname line. Another weird thing is when i boot with or without the cable line plugged in the init process stalls at "configuring network interfaces..." for about 40 seconds, then everything boots fine. As i recall this was only after installing etherconf for the first time; or was it after building the new kernel image with support for the realtek NICs? Anyway, it's not much of a problem at all, what's 40 seconds? But mayhaps it's an indication of something that could give me more ideas. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
