Greg, Sorry for the mangling?? Sorry that you don't seem to understand my problem or I just am not making myself clear? Please let me restate. I have two network interface cards. One is being recognized but the other is not. The one that is recognized is the D-Link DFE-530TX. After running the pciconfi -vl there are two network interfaces listed none7@pci0:4:0 nVidia Corp nForce MCP2 Networking adapter the other rl0@pci1:6:0 D-Link DFE-530tx is there any way that I can get the other adpater to work? And again sorry for being a dweeb and trying your patience. >Horrible reply mangling. I won't reply to any more messages mangled >this badly. > > Have question though.
