It would notice a different type of NIC, but then it would force you to reconfigure it with an IP address or dhcp setting before starting it. That's not at all handy when you prepare swappable disks and have someone else install them at a remote site, expecting to ssh in as soon as they come up. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
