This a Gentoo box and the network set-up is done via init scripts. I would expect the information to be obtained from ifconfig, route, etc. Looking at Hal output I see nothing about Core2Duo, which is the processor type, so maybe it is a Hal problem. I just installed wicd and also got a lot of wifi stuff I don't need, and it just caused trouble. I guess this is a "never mind" situation! :) -Robin -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Atwood.
