Of the > 3, only the Ethernet_II entry shows a LAN address. On second reading of this I have another comment. The reason that the Ethernet_II entry shows a LAN address (didn't you really mean an IP address?) is that TCP/IP can only be encapsulated as an Ethernet_II packet. The other encapsulations use the raw ethernet address associated with the card for addressing nodes. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
