When the loader is counting down from nine, hit the space bar, and then type "boot -c". Then, when the config prompt comes up, type "visual" to get the gui hardware configurator. It might be worthwhile to recompile your kernel with just the current ethernet card. (I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that a custom kernel performs any better, but it does boot more quickly. And it's smaller. And it just feels good to be able to say "This is MY kernel"). > Thanks in advance for any help.
