It does. Thanks a lot. I still have some other minor issues with my network interface by the way: - Switching from and to promiscuous mode takes 7 seconds. All packets are dropped in the mean time. - Fetching 100 Mbit through FTP uses a lot of interrupts (almost thousands). Yours, -- Ed Schouten <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://g-rave.nl/
