At a guess i would say your cable is at fault, the way cards fit into the Mobo normally assure's a proper connection, unless your card foot is worn down and fits losely into the socket i doubt that would be your problem altho' it could be a mineute hair fracture in one of the solder joints in the foot. Come to that a bad joint could be anywhere. The last 2 messages above say resource collisions, either you have 2 cards sharing one IRQ (see that with cat /proc/interruts) and one or the other is misbehaving, or there is a wire lose in the cable plug. Check all the simple things before pointing a finger at the card. Things like this can have many causes, at least the messages all point to 00:09.0 which we are presuming is the ethernet card, lspci will tell you what 00:09.0 is. -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
