Are you sure you probed the correct Ethernet driver for it? Maybe the board requires some instructions to further configure the Ethernet. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
