Hi Akemi Sorry for the delay in responding (Australian time zone). # lspci -nn | grep -i net 00:07.0 Bridge [0680]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP61 Ethernet [10de:03ef] (rev a2) 01:09.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8169 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8169] (rev 10) But it seems the subject has progressed on the mailing list. It looks like after updating the kmod-forcedeth I'll have to keep a copy old rpm on the machine if I need to go back to an earlier kernel.
