TIA. > I too have been bitten by this in 2.1.5R. I have made arrangements to "trade down" to the SMC Etherpower 10 (no fast ethernet) and I can only hope that they work with the driver in 2.1.5R. I have two older machines running 2.1.0R that do work with the Etherpower 10 of the same (older) vintage. I would love to find a driver patch that works with the new cards, as I can't write one myself. -- | John Lucas jlucas@jnet.vi | | Information Technology NIC Handle: JL423 | | University of the Virgin Islands (809) 693-1216 | | St. Thomas, VI 00802 http://www.jnet.vi/jlucas.html |
