 Well, restarting the network didn't work. What worked was plugging the network
cable directly into the Linksys firewall instead of a 10/100 hub. The hub itself
may be bad - the Windows box my wife uses didn't work on the net when plugged
into the hub.

 Anyone heard of a problem with gigabit cards making 10/100 hubs flake out?

 Fortunately, the powernowd thing has apparently been fixed - the CPU frequency
scaled quite well, as it should.

 Sincerely,

 Ray Ingles                                                    (313) 227-2317
