Hi Donnie, I was never able to get the Etherjet card working in my Thinkpad 240. I compiled newer kernels, up to 2.2.18pre something, I downloaded and compiled the newest pcmcia-cs sources. Nothing ever worked for me with that card. Finally I replaced it with a D-Link DFE-650, which cost about 1/3 as much, and it Just Worked. As best I remember, I didn't have to do anything special, it just worked. -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sirinet.net/~budr/zamm.html All things in moderation.
