* Jeff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | This card is a little quirky yet. I have the same card and it | does this nearly everytime I bring it up. All I need to do is | | # ifconfig eth0 up | | and it starts working. Even though the interface already | shows that it's up, I need to remind it manually to get it to | work. I've had success with setting the card in multicast mode, or even in promisc on a bad day. But it's funny, in my office I can get it to work if I follow the prescription above (the DHCP server there is debian dhcp 2.0pl5-1), but in my school I've had no success -- no matter what. I don't know what kind of dhcp server that is running there -- possibly something on RedHat or Novell, *and* I think they are using some sort of DHCP relaying. Does anyone know what I could do to get it to work? -- Jørn Helge B. Dahl Falch.net developer - http://www.falch.net
