Colin and All,

Sorry for breaking the thread, I hope I didn't do the same thing by
replying to the digest message I got and then editing the Subject
field. List watching is not new at all to me; messaging a list is very
new. Sorry for the break down of etiquette. Following is a copy and
paste of the information when I typed in sudo lshw -C network at a
terminal window:

 *-network
       description: Network controller
       product: BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN
       vendor: Broadcom Corporation
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci at 0000:0b:00.0
       version: 01
       width: 32 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list
       configuration: driver=wl latency=0
       resources: irq:16 memory:efdfc000-efdfffff
  *-network UNCLAIMED
       description: Ethernet controller
       product: BCM4401-B0 100Base-TX
       vendor: Broadcom Corporation
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci at 0000:03:00.0
       version: 02
       width: 32 bits

       capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list
       configuration: latency=64
       resources: memory:ef9fe000-ef9fffff

Hopefully that is what your after. Hopefully it will translate without
losing the formatting. Thanks for the help.
