I have internal Ethernet and CardBus 802.11b interfaces that 2.4 kernels know as eth0 and eth1. The 2.6 kernels I've tried refer to them as eth1 and eth2. Dumb question: Do 2.6 kernels start all sequential device numbering with "1" rather than "0"? Gadzooks! What partition would that make /dev/hda1 ?? ;-P --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
