exactly that. This is not my only machine with debian on it. It is my only laptop without a network manager. It is totally weird. I think it has to do with dhcp and that there is no timeout set. So it waits forever to pick up an Ip address (which of course doesn't work without a cable). -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollm...@itcfollmann.com
