Wow, do you mean that literally? If you mean that lightning struck your power/phone lines, then I'd strongly suggest investing in a surge protector, one with protection for both power and phone, and hook up your pc to it, including network hub/switch, and dsl/dial-up modems to the phone line through the protector. If you have cable, then there are surge protectors that also have coax jacks. > What could this be? If the card shows up in lspci, and you have the driver for it loaded, it should also show up in dmesg. So, what does dmesg have to say? I'd say you might have a udev issue somewhere, though that's just a guess. Also, are you sure that the card isn't in fact recognized? It could be recognized, but assigned a different interface, like eth1 instead of eth0. If that's the case, then that's a udev rule issue. To answer your other question in another post, no, if you have the driver built into the kernel, then there are no modules to load. > If I end up having to rebuild from scratch, what is a currently good > distro for console only, no GUI Linux that supports Speakup?
