Mick, Did you try to look and see if there is a MAC address reported in the BIOS setup anywhere? It might get shown if you try to PXE netboot. This will then tell us if it is a hardware problem or a Linux kernel bug. -- Gllug mailing list - Gllug at gllug.org.uk http://lists.gllug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
