Run lspci to make sure the hardware is visible and not, say, badly damaged. Then run modprobe 100 and modprobe e1000 and see if they will load that way. Look for subsequent dmesg output and the existence of eth* devices. Note that the e100 may have a BIOS switch to make it an IPMI-only port. -dsr- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
