I didn't say I had a problem with my network card, I just said that `dmesg` didn't say 
anything about the card. Perhaps you missed it when I said that this ethernet card that 
`dmesg` didn't report was the one I was using to post my response to the list. So the question 
lies, what good is the `dmesg` test if it doesn't report a card I know to *is* working?
