=====================
Opps... forgot to send this.. 


Thanks a lot for taking a swing at this Bob.. I'll have a look at the 
details in /proc/pci tonight and see if I can figure some of it out.  

I had looked at /proc/pci last night and that's where I realized there 
were two sockets still available to connect to.  

I'm sure that disabling the onboard network RJ45 socket should have 
been done first.  

Cheers!  Ian.
