About ifconfig, it didn't make any sense to me either, but I have learned that 
I don't understand things the way you do, many times, so I just do as told.  
That way if it is not necessary the data can be rejected, but if I make a 
decision to not include something that doesn't make sense to me, I may be 
wrong and then am considered stubborn or whatever.  I just typed it in so that 
it was there if it should be and you wanted it.

By the way, any time I am comparing the laptop with the other computer, I use 
the exact same cables--everything that is used and done to the one, is 
duplicated the exact same way on the other, so that the test is accurate.
