Looks like it saw enough of the device to start the process but the device "disappeared" before it could finish. Had this happen with an onboard Gbit Realteak NIC that was slowly dying. Rebooting would sometimes get it to work. After a week of mucking around with setting HWADRR and writing udev rules, it eventually died completely. A new card would have been a lot cheaper than my time. Kal
