You should get a messages about the ethernet card if it is found. 'dmesg' will show you the bootup message, so you don't have to scribble it down as it whizzes past. Particular card configurations are recognised by the kernel as ed0, ed1 and ed2. Is your card configured to be one of these? The configurations are in the kernel configuration file and in the install documentation. J
