hi,
not realy pci adaptor, is onboard integrated lan chip, laptop is HP Compaq nx9010,
about booting from older dash, I leaved in xbox hdd evox 18458 beta renamed to olddash.xbe and ini file it uses is "menu.ini" so no conflict booting,
anyway I copy evox.ini to menu.ini and dashboard only reads used fields, (ex: network section) so any text can be dropped on that ini file without give problems.
I added a shorcut in dash menu to call 18458 xbe, working fine, also if I boot 18458 beta from cdrw have same efect, 100% working
best regards
