If the switch it is plugged into isn't set that way as well, then you'll have a problem. Actually, you haven't described the symptoms - you just say it doesn't work, but the diagnostic info you've provided to this point doesn't indicate a problem. Can you be more specific about what doesn't work, what happens when you try to use the interface, etc.? -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org Creator of high-performance Internet servers - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
