 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
        clock: 33MHz
        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.
