Hello there,

I have read on the ati website that in order to install properly the
graphics card drivers
I need to have enable the posix shared memory feature

http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html

I followed the instructions below quoted

        To enable POSIX Shared Memory on your system, perform the following as 
root:

         1. Add the following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already): 
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
         2. Mount shared memory as follows: mount /dev/shm
         3. Issue the following command to check that it mounted properly: 
mount | grep "shm"

        If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) 
should appear:
        tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) 

and the result appeared as it stated above.

But after I edited the /etc/fstab file adding that line and having restarted 
the system

the outcome was that the ethernet card was deactivated.

On my adsl modem the ethernet light was off, and therefore no internet 
connection.

In the meantime I removed that line from fstab.

Any suggestion on how to enable the Posix Shared memory feature and keeping the 
network card working ?

Many thanks,

Sergio
