There must be a logical approach to this?

I pressed the reset button and then can find the cdrom with the support information and have found nothing on-line and got no response from Zonet. Not surprisingly it is a discontinued product. It would overheat and fail until I added vent holes and a tiny fan to both of them, I have two.

To make ifconfig obsolete is really weird. It sounds to me that
developers of Fedora have to much time on their hands. Next I expect
they will change the name of vi. Oh, I forgot it is now vim. Where is Ed
Joy when we need him? [He was the creator of vi, in the very beginning.]
