No, if the light on the firewall and on the NIC itself don't come on when you plug in the ethernet cable, the card isn't working. When a different slot doesn't work either, it seems something on your PCI bus is dead. Does 'lspci -v' still report allright? > How does one check that a NIC is working? By checking that the light goes on and that one can ping the thing at the other end of the cable. :) > Does "ping localhost" > actually use the NIC? Or is that all just software?
