No rebooting is not essential. I just thought for a recent Windows refugee it would be something you were used to doing. ifdown and ifup are sufficient to cause the card to autodetect again, but it will not force reloading of the driver. What you need to do is service network stop rmmod 3c59x modprobe 3c59x service network start derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
