I heard there were some problems with the 3c509 driver is this one of them or just a new one? I installed a ne2000 card in and it stays on the net, but now I get network buffer overflows (I heard adding the gateway option may help/fix this--any other suggestions out there?) About the 3c509 card--it's supposed to be just about the fastest nic out there and I got a pair of them for a very good price ($99) I would very much like to use it reliably.
