	~~===Troubleshooting Notes===~~

	~~====Card Causes "bad mac address" Error During LinuxMCE Installation====~~
	The Realtek 8139 card (or perhaps the motherboard it is plugged into) can get into a bad state that is not fixed by rebooting. One manifestation of this problem is that during LinuxMCE installation a "has bad mac address" error is reported. Once the card is in that state, it must be powered down completely by unplugging the computer power supply and waiting until all power to the motherboard is cut before repowering.
