that is how i see it.
is that 1.144 IP address in use by the machine you ran the lspci from?
somewhere. but i know not where.
http://www.whoami.it/home/ shows me to be; adsl-184-41-28-86.mem.bellsouth.net for the hell of it, i pulled and reconnected DSL line, now, i am adsl-184-41-28-44.mem.bellsouth.net
which is now confusing me more because the 1.144 address is in;
~]$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:FE:8F:8F:23 inet addr:192.168.1.144 Bcast:192.168.1.255 \ Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:feff:fe8f:8f23/64 Scope:Link
your ROUTER gets the internet IP on its WAN side (184.41.28.86 or whatever), and your LAN uses 192.168.1.xxx, the system you ran ifconfig on there has 192.168.1.144. the router 'translates' your private LAN addresses to the public internet address, this process is often called NAT (Network Address Translation), or Masquerade.
so. Wireshark, for unknown reasons, thinks your system is 'PartedMagic'. I have no idea why.
so... 'PartedMagic' is a red herring. whats the ACTUAL problem here we're trying to solve?
