I can't test your suggestion at the moment, as my WiFi card _is_ finding eth0, as desired. But what I don't quite understand about your comment is: If the driver grabs eth0, why does the card not use this? It's as though the driver and card had independent personalities, with the card saying, "Boo to you, I want to use eth0" and the driver saying, "Sorry, I've reserved that for a very important client who may be eating there." -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
