Hi James,
    Thanks for the info...

I have installed the bfe driver, but my NIC is still not detected and on a reboot i get the "e1000g unknown device" type error...

>From a scanpci I can see my two network devices:

pci bus 0x0005 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x4222
 Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection

pci bus 0x0006 cardnum 0x01 function 0x00: vendor 0x14e4 device 0x170c
 Broadcom Corporation BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX

(I'll tackle the wireless with the new WiFi driver just released later..)

And a modprobe |grep bfe gives:

 54 fffffffffbbfedb0   1098   -   1  neti (netinfo module 1.0)

I am guessing I need to use an "add_drv" command to get the driver bound to the device (thats a guess?) - any pointers?

Many thanks
