I was looking at 9.1 when I sent that... The two listings for the SMC card are card "SMC EZ 10/100 Fast Ethernet" manfid 0x01bf, 0x2220 bind "tulip" card "SMC EZ 10/100 Fast Ethernet" manfid 0x01bf, 0x2225 bind "tulip" >From 9.1 As you can see the manfid changes but not the driver. Adding this to /etc/pcmcia/config if it is not present then doing /etc/init.d/pcmcia may get you running. (assuming that the above isn't in 9.0's file) James
