The command modinfo 3c59x lists the options for that driver, and we can refer to this page for a description http://www.scyld.com/vortex.html To force this driver to be full duplex edit the file /etc/modprobe.conf as root user (Alt+F2 and type 'kdesu konqueror' in the box to get a root copy of konqueror file manager) Add the line options 3c59x full_duplex=1 Then reboot derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
