I have a ibook 2.2 (aka ibook3) also with ben's kernel, with the same symptoms |> |> eth0: switched to forced 10bt |> and |> eth0: switched to forced 100bt |> |> Is it normal? |> | Yes, it's normal.

Same question.. this doesn't feel the correct way to solve this.. but just a workaround.. |> | Why do you want it up when it's not in use? Simple.. to detect when I connect it to a cable and to automatically run dhcpcd or dhclient to fetch for a network config. Basically, in my university i have to jump from room to room, disconnecting and connecting back in onother room, basically.. allways on the move.. ehehe The ability to detect a wired cable and try to get a network config is pretty nice. But having those messages in the console just because I desconnected the cable is not very nice.. I could go for a message like.. lost connection bla bla.. and ~ another one when it got a connection back.. .but the present kind of verbosity is not welcome. | | Nicolai Miguel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+Ga6/YBjDU2rJcrARAq+DAJ9tlZGes+oM2CqmPDq+N+X2jszoUACggNr9 P3hUwbYyxk0HIbtNMG7dw9g= =wOml -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
