Your above instructions worked just peachy. Thanks. This is the output of dmesg | grep eth0 --------------------------- eth0: RealTek RTL8139 Fast Ethernet at 0xc3855000, 00:e0:4c:e8:71:c0, IRQ 9 eth0: Identified 8139 chip type 'RTL-8139C' eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000. -------------------------- what's with the half duplex bit up there ? Does it mean that the card will run at half speed ?? regards, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri Homeopath and Linux Enthusiast.
