The entire problem is that the card is not supported by the tulip driver 2.2.x kernel series :( It is, however, directly supported by the 2.4.0-testx/2.4.x series of kernels. It's a long story as to why the driver is so far out of date. You can get an updated driver from http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html. I've never been able to get these drivers (off the scyld web pages) to work for me, but it's been a while since I've tried. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
