I can access Startech's website and it says it's a Realtek - RTL8111DL based chip, so you'd better start googling about that chipset under CentOS. ----------------------------------------- Victor, Thanks for your help. Looks like StarTech is up for me too now. I do not have lspci on my system, and could not yum install it, did you mean lsmod?

RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit The nic interface on the mother board works fine. Based on this I would have expected the st1000spex to work perfectly. The mmi entry is listed as R8169 for lsmod output, I am not really sure what this means. Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, I do have lspci on this system; I am going to it down and put the st1000spex back in the slot, and will send the lspci out put after I reboot.
