It's a kernel parameter. It goes in your grub.conf or the equivalent LILO file. for example after "root=/dev/hda1 r/o" > To complete the mistery.

If it starts happening regularly, replace the router. I had an 8 port 10/100 hub that did that. I gave it to a friend who replaced a bunch of capacitors on the circuit board and it works fine now. The symptoms were increasing numbers of errors (as reported by ifconfig, nothing on the Windows computers), to the point where it would stop working until I removed the power and reset it. I prefer the realtek 8139 derivative NICs. They are really cheap (around 50 NIS) and are well supported in Linux, Windows, BSD and MacOS. They also perform reasonably well. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
