Hi Matt, Sounds like a good plan. I do not use DHCP and having the NIC built into the kernel sounds swell. However, I am very new to debian - is there any chance I could get a step-by step procedure for this? It would take me a week to figure out otherwise.
I already have modconf installed, which I think is the program I would use to do that, but past that, I am lost... Tyson Varosyan Technical Manager, Uptime Technical Solutions LLC.
