I have only one LAN card and a Display card installed on the mobo. I suspect the LAN card having problem. On booting "Bringing interface ABC_Broadband" always failed. Also I found it hard to activate the connection even after bootup. Just changed it. On running; # yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories updates [1/3] Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates * end * I'll reboot the PC to see whether there is any improvement. > Also what do you have in /proc - look there for more clues. $ ls -l /proc/ total 524230 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 0
