Thanks everyone who helped with my pcmcia card, but now i'm onto an even more difficult one for my desktop. I have a Linksys LNE100tx card, and am unable to get it to work no matter what i do. I tried to downnload the latest driver and get that compiled,but it wil not compile... I tried the tulip driver the comes with mandrake 7.0 and that gave me an error saying delaying eth0 initialization, followed by 'FAILED'. I also tried manually setting the IO and irq for it taken from my winbloz portion of my computer, but that didn't work either, just gives the same message as above. I even went as far as to add a line to my lilo.conf file to see if I could assign it an irq and IO that would work on boot, but nothing works... I am really lost and would appreciate any help that anyone can give. Thanks in advance! - Joe :) ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
