If you access the console, what are the PCI ids for the NICs?

Thanks for the reply.What do you really mean by IDs , is it what you find by typing 'lspci' ?

I get this output :

00:15:02 Serial Bus Controller : Serverworks CSB6 OHCI USB Controller
02:00:00 Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704 vmnic0
02:00:01 Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704 vmnic0

CPU0:1024 PCI:2393 :failed for 000:15.2
CPU0:1024 PCI:2393 :failed for 002:00.0
CPU0:1024 PCI:2393 :failed for 002:00.1

CPU1:1152 Mod: 1413: Initialisation for usb-ohci failed with -19..

So you can see that its failing to load the NIC , i have tried installing another external NIC m but the same error. It does say that it has sucessfulyy loaded the drives for NICs.

Does this help you ?

Have you found a solution for the NIC cards for the DL140 G1? I have been having the same problem, still looking for a solution. Any help would be appreciated... Thanks.
