Apparently almost everyone gets that, but it's not a problem. Both my boxes do it, but eth0 works fine. There's a way to prevent the message, but i don't think that would help you connect. ------------------ >From Bill Mullen on expert: you can put a stop to that message once and for all by editing (as root) the text file named "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX" - where ethX is the interface in question - and changing this line: MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no ... to: MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes As of the next restart of the network service, ifplugd will no longer be consulted when ethX is brought up, so it will always succeed
