I'm on 2.4.24 from kernel.org right now. I was using the Broadcom driver bcm5700 for a time, but reading through various lists, the consensus seemed to be that tg3 was the better choice. At the time I upgraded my kernel, the bcm5700 driver wasn't patched against 2.4.24 yet. The latest 7.1.22, released 2.3.2004 is up to 2.4.24. Meanwhile, I've purchased a handful of Intel PRO/1000 MT adapters which I'm going to try. If I have the same problem with a completely different adapter, that should rule that out. I now also have define(`confMAX_DAEMON_CHILDREN',`100')dnl Now wait... _________________________ Ron Peterson Network & Systems Manager Mount Holyoke College _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
