Try manually doing 'modprobe forcedeth' on console 2, then returning to detect networks on console 1. For some reason some boards don't list nvidia's ethernet in the pci list and that is what is used to decide what drivers to load. Often loading the right driver still works though, so it must be a bug in the pci listing in 2.6.8. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
