I wrote earlier this week about my mb dying. After further trials, it still lives. I took the system apart so I could get to the connector better and plugged it in and it worked. The ps died. Now I have my system reassembled and the NIC that I use to connect to the internet seems not to be working. Drivers for both cards are loaded. /proc/pci lists them both When I plug the cable in, the link light comes on on the back of the card but does not light up the hub. I have swap the the cord on the hub, nothing. When I bring eth0 up with ifconfig eth0 up, I get all the information. The card is a netgear FA311. It has served me well. Anyone have any ideas, TIA John Miller
