You seem to have some weirdness going on with your modules, or something. Maybe the wrong ones get loaded? Dunno what neat is. To force correct modules to load, edit /etc/modules.conf e.g: alias eth0 3c59x > > I then tried swapping them back, again using neat, but to no avail (go figure?). >ifconfig -a > still reports both cards' MAC addresses as the same values which neat reports (well, >I'd stop > using it, but I had no way of verifying -- besides, this *could* be useful info, >right?). > > I'm now writing this from one of the WinXP boxen the RH7.2 machine is meant to >protect.
