[PLUG] Ubuntu Server on HP ProLiant DL380 G5

[Chuck Hast]

Had never used ethtool before, did the ethtool -h and got a whole probably

it wants is the DEVNAME, so I did a ifconfig, and it sees nothing, only the
loop back.
This is under Ubuntu server...
Now to try the desktop version that appears to find the NIC ports just fine.
