It could be a hardware conflict between your network interface and graphic board. Do they use the same interrupt line according to /proc/interrupts? If you had a PC, I would have told you to look in the BIOS for "plug-n-play OS" or so, but since this is a mac I don't know. By the way, when did this problem appear? Did you have Xorg+network working fine before? What did you upgrade in the meantime? Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
