I am not sure what sequence of events triggers this, I've only : seen this twice in ~month of using 2.1R. What "ifa" stands for isn't obvious to : me. You say "any help" ? ifa stands for interface address. I believe the hex numbers are mac addresses - the kernel thinks your mac address has changed. I've seen this before on my machine - trying to get a PCMCIA ne2000 clone to work using the PCCARD package, but never figured out what the cause was (and never got the card working). Please post if you discover the problem. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
