The official driver from NSC for the 2.2 kernels was crap. But the one in 2.4 by Donald Becker worked fine for me when I was using the DP83815. And I wrote a sort-of polled driver for Etherboot as well, but it was a bit buggy, though still usable, so I never submitted it and when I found the bug by accident Etherboot already had the natsemi driver. I was using 2.4.12 though. Dunno about the later ones. I seem to remember that the latest natsemi driver available from Donald Becker's site wasn't included in 2.4.12.. You might want to check that out. //Peter
