So what type of card is your second ethernet adapter? Unless you're using one whose driver is built into the kernel there isn't a kernel module being loaded for it. If it's a tulip based card, like your original, then you should see: Module Size Used by tulip 30264 2 Note the "2" under "Used by". This is the setup I have and I didn't have to do anything for the tulip module to recognize the second ethernet card. Gary
