Everything goes fine using the standard zp driver, but not when the card is hooked on the BNC port (zp0 always detect only the RJ-45) ... I have tried with the last PAO but had no success to even detect correctly the card. It seems that the card doesn't send anything with dumpcis (it just can see that there is a card in slot x ...). Tried also with the last Linux slackware boot disk, but, a similar problem occurs, because the cable connector is mis-detected (BNC when it's RJ-45 and vice-et-versa) ... In the two cases, any ifconfig command just switch of the green light on the "combo cable connector" ... Did somebody encounter such a problem ? Obviously, but it is not a criterion for me, it works well with the 95 thing ... I need someone's help bad ! TIA -- zuzur@amelie.frmug.fr.net (Erwan Arzur) Mostly harmless.
