I was having trouble with a 3Com Trevor Daniel Kramer>ethernet card so I want to swap it out with a different brand. If I Trevor Daniel Kramer>simply exchange the cards will all my ethernet settings be applied to the Trevor Daniel Kramer>new card. For instance, if I had dhcp setup for the old card will it Trevor Daniel Kramer>automatically work when I put the new card in? I have of course installed Trevor Daniel Kramer>a new kernel with the right drivers. Thanks. I believe all you have to do is to check that the setting in rc.conf point to the new card ifconfig_your-card-name="DHCP" -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Systems Administrator Inter-Connect Ltd. 3rd Flr The Chancery Valley Rd PO Box 39519 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: 254 2 711140 Fax: 254 2 718418 There shall be wings!
