For the above, vendor *should* be Aopen Inc, not Realtek Semiconductor ... 'k, so, for the above: card=0x0027a0a0 - Aopen Inc (A0A0) chip=0x813910ec - Realtek Semiconductor (10EC) - 8139 RT8139 (A/B/C/810x/813x/C+) Fast Ethernet Adapter (8139) And the 0027 is actually meaningless in this case ... So, what I'm looking for is vendor->device, but in some card= cases, there won't be a 'Device' listed ... As to class= ... what table am I supposed to be seeing at that URL? ---- Marc G.
