2 problems: the ne driver depends on the 8390 driver. Either insmod that first, or (the more intelligent way) use modprobe instead - it will determine dependencies for you and install 8390 first. the 82557 is NOT an ne2000 clone - it's an Intel Etherexpress Pro 10/100 - use the eepro100 driver instead. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
