Yes I had a quick go with that but it hasn't been made big endian/64 bit aware. I've done a bit of work to do this but have really been concentrating my efforts on the tulip driver. > The dmfe in the X1 is identified as a Davicom 9102 on boot, it doesn't say > DM9102(A) though. The tulip driver reports it as a DM9102(A) I guess that is probably telling the truth but you never know. As for getting things to work on a Netra-X1 I have am able to get to full multiuser mode (Suse-7.1) but have no network so that makes it quite difficult to do things at present. I've still got a few issues with the realtime clock (it always seems to report year as 2000) but the network is my main priority at the moment. Richard
