Yes - there are lines in there indicating that the pegasus driver was detected and associated with eth0. > If not that is your first obstacle. > Secondly - remove and insert the adapter while watching /var/log/messages - > check whether the Pegasus adapter is being detected - obstacle #2. When I do this, the following is reported in /var/log/messages: * USB disconnect on device 3 * modProbe: can't location module block-major-2 * last message repeated 3 times * USB new device connect on bus1/2/1, assigned device number 4 * pegasus.c: eth0: MELCO/BUFFALO LUA-TX So - it does, in fact, seem to be detected when unlpugging and replugging in. > Thirdly - run netconfig to set the thing up. OK. I ran this to choose DHCP settings, like other computers on the same LAN. (Aside: Why can't the "Network Configuration" app in Gnome be used for this?) One note: If I go back and run netconfig again, it doesn't seem to remember the previous selection of "DHCP" and I have to select that again. Is that normal? Is there a place to look to see what the current settings are? And what happened to "linuxconf"? :-) > Fourthly - run ntsysv and enable networking. I ran that, but everything (like "network") seemed to have already been selected. I did "ok" on that anyway, just in case. After doing all this, the box was still not connected to the network/Internet though... Is there supposed to some other step when changes like this are make to "kickstart all the changes" or something like that? I tried restarting the machine too, but that didn't help. > > Please note that I never needed the 'alias eth0 pegasus' line you describe - > it just worked out of the box.

Any ideas of what I might try next? Thanks - and I appreciate your assistance.
