I ... umm ... trialled a copy of Parallels on my MBP and have since uninstalled it but the 2 network devices still remain in the network preferences screen and on my iStat widget in Dashboard.

I have tried removing them from the network preferences but they come back after restarting.

Is there anything else I can do to remove them?

Thanks!

I'm sure there is some unixy, command line type stuff you can do.

Does a Google not bring up anything? I'd be surprised if nobody has written a script to do it.

Do they appear if you type this into Terminal.app ?
Code:
ifconfig -a


If they do, try the following:
Code:
ifconfig <interface_name> unplumb


I'm not sure if OS X does, but see if there are files in /etc called "hostname.<interface_name>", if there is, delete the files which have the unwanted interfaces...

Not sure if that'll help...

I need to be on the su account to unplumb the network interfaces.

Any idea what the default su password will be?

Use sudo and use your admin password...Unless you have enabled the root user?

Wait, you mean you don't set your own root passwords? :shock: Is it in the iManual?

Sorry, I'm usually root when I do this at work, I didn't think...
