I can't say that a 3c509B card that ran in 2.2.x would run any different in 2.4.x. The only differences have been dependancies (consolidated code). This shouldn't have changed at all in the code for ISA cards. D. Becker's module tree is also in the modules.tgz file, maybe this tree would work better for you with the 509/515 cards. > My problem is, that I need 5 100MBit Nics and I like to use a ADSL- > Ethernet Router which will be connected to the 10 MBit Card.

(Thr price mus less then 80 ¤/US$) I don't know of any dual-ports, but there are a couple of 4-port cards available for under $200 IIRC. > But for now, I have gotten an USB ADSL modem from my ISP and I must > replace one of the 3c905B wit an USB 1.1 Card... :-/ Yuck! > Or I install an other Computer which will make the Internet connection > and use a CrossOver Cable to connect to my Router... Double yuck! I feel for you, ADSL is something I typically avoid. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
