Check your /etc/driver_aliases pcic lines. How it is connected in that box, who knows? OK, prtconf should know :-) And one more thing, your NIC is not e1000g, I overlooked specification (dual core notebook before Core Duo...), it is BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX inside. Look at bfe driver here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ Best regards, Milan > > Brian Xu - Sun Microsystems - Beijing China wrote On 03/22/07 16:18,: > > Jitendra Sasmal ??????: > > > >> Hi Brian. > >> I did that yesterday.
