Thanks for the reply,

I'm running 10.5.6 as well.  The only thing I can think of is that I  
had installed Cisco VPN at one point, then removed it using the  
removal script.  But I don't necessarily trust that Cisco subscribes  
to the "do no harm" method of product installation/uninstallation :)   
What is the best way to look at modules that might be loaded that  
affect the network interfaces?

Thanks,

/Dion
