Hi Roger, I so know your pain!
I agree with Nicks comments... On a side issue... my MDK10 system keeps prompting me to set up the card if I reboot and the card is removed or returned after previously being removed. I also seem to have to issue an ifup eth1 command as su to get it to work properly before I can start running internet applications. Any thoughts anyone?
