The best way to identify your network device is to get the Vendor:Device ID pairing. Please see the ELRepo FAQ #4 for details: http://elrepo.org/tiki/FAQ Akemi ----------------------------------------------------------------- I have not found a solution, and in fact have made things worse. This machine is a Gateway SX2370, and I am about to conclude there is a bios problem. I am now unable to boot the machine when I have the st1000spex in the pci-e slot. I can boot the machine when the on-board nic is disabled with the st1000spex in place, but when I try to boot with both I do not even get the bios screen. This has me stumped for now Greg
