I use 'wmnet --device eth0' without problems. But I think from reading the man page that you need a 2.1.x or above kernel for the devstats driver which is used for eth0. Are you using a 2.0.x kernel? That may be the problem. This is what I get at startup: # wmnet --device eth0 wmnet: using devstats driver to monitor eth0 -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
