Hiya Dan and others Message header changed following advice re potential spam. Dont know what is meant by restricted drivers. My other post provided lspci output revealing I think a 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 0d) Google search results for this looked promising initially but have proved to be many red herrings or unintelligible to me. Here is output from ifconfig -a Ignore the wlan0 entry - that refers to a USB wireless stick I had knocking around - but needed elsewhere. I think its the eth1 I need to work. The MAC address certainly matches the router and my expectations. eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:39:3f:46:a5 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:2d:6a:a2:d1 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:11 Base address:0x100 irda0 Link encap:IrLAP HWaddr 00:00:00:00 NOARP MTU:2048 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:8 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:7 Base address:0x2f8 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:720 (720.0 B) TX bytes:720 (720.0 B) pan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 66:8a:46:1b:42:0f BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0f:cb:c0:fe:cd inet addr:192.168.0.8 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:cbff:fec0:fecd/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5132 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:3659 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2746797 (2.7 MB) TX bytes:675609 (675.6 KB) My /etc/network/interfaces looks like this auto lo iface lo inet loopback My output from sudo lshw -C Network is as follows:- *-network description: Ethernet interface product: 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: a bus info: p...@0000:00:0a.0 logical name: eth0 version: 0d serial: 00:00:39:3f:46:a5 size: 10MB/s capacity: 100MB/s width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=e100 driverversion=3.5.24-k2-NAPI duplex=half firmware=N/A latency=64 link=no maxlatency=56 mingnt=8 multicast=yes port=MII speed=10MB/s resources: irq:11 memory:f7efe000-f7efefff ioport:eec0(size=64) memory:f7ec0000-f7edffff *-network description: Wireless LAN Card product: Version 01.01 vendor: TOSHIBA physical id: 0 slot: Socket 0 resources: irq:11 *-network:0 description: Wireless interface physical id: 2 logical name: wlan0 serial: 00:0f:cb:c0:fe:cd capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes ip=192.168.0.8 multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11bg *-network:1 description: Wireless interface physical id: 3 logical name: eth1 serial: 00:02:2d:6a:a2:d1 capabilities: ethernet physical wireless configuration: broadcast=yes driver=orinoco driverversion=0.15 firmware=Lucent/Agere 9.48 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11b Anybody think that there may be some clues in here:- http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/AGd2Zjs1ZyTJ8iqq5U6S or is yet just another red herring?
