I am using an older version of g4l. I used to update yearly for drivers but haven't needed to recently. It looks like the version I'm using is 0.36a. Anyway, We have received some netbooks (HP 3115m) that I've tried to image with. At first I was having a problem with one machine but it seems to be multiples. It will usually grab an IP, but after that when I do an operation, it looks like it will start, but instead appears to sit there and just occasionally say Link Up - it never says Link down (unless I unplug the cable). It isn't my cable either, because I've had this happen in 4 locations. Do you think it could be a driver issue and that I need to upgrade?

I'm not sure what you mean by hdt? Sorry, it's been awhile since I've had to troubleshoot a problem like this so I'm a bit rusty! I don't think it is the switch because we frequently image and multicast on these switches with outer computers and have not had this problem.

This is a side issue, but - how would I after specific operations put a clock of how long an operation too? I'm assuming I'd have to enclose the operation in a function and time that, but not real sure of how to do that. For instance, I do a multicast and want to know generally how long it takes.

Here is a script that I use. I create an image of the XP partition and then transfer it to the other 19 machines in the lab so they can be restored in about 12 minutes with no network activity. This script does use the time command to report how long it took to the the udpcast.
Note: password has been replaced with password. Have other scripts that can log into all 20 machines and reimage the XP at 1 time.
Note: plink is a putty ssh program that logs in and then runs command.

Ah - it is listed as a Realtek RTL8111/8168B
Upgrading to 0.42 seems to have fixed the issue.
