Hi Claude,
I did try it last night. It came up with nothing and I got the following error
messages on console:
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth1 No such device
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
eth1 No such device
............................
repeatedly.
I don't know. Maybe I need some more stuff set up before I can do anything? Is
there a webpage with a helpfile or manual somewhere? Of course, I should google
it, haven't done that yet. Will do so, now.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Trotter
