Well, > certainly one of them :-) Those messages shouldn't follow you around unless you login as root all the time. And if you do log in as root all the time, shame on you, use your account and `su' instead. If you hate them, edit /sys/pci/if_de.c and comment out the printf's. Build and install a new kernel and you'll be saved. Or fix your cabling. :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major
