Actually, I've just tried installing a realtek card today on my A7V and it didn't show up at all despite being compiled into the kernel, I could only get it to show up after running ifconfig rl0 as root which caused the kernel to detect the card at last (until I get a "proper" card I've added ifconfig >/dev/null rl0 to early in rc.network :) -- Simon Dick simond@irrelevant.org "Why do I get this urge to go bowling everytime I see Tux?"
