Jeremy, The link you added is very exciting. I have a Gateway solo1200 w/celery850MHz cpu. I am going to try the patch and see if I kill the box! :) Would you say that this howto is okay for newbies to follow if they don't already know how to patch kernel source? http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO/patching_the_kernel.html It was suggested that I build my nic driver into the kernel instead of loading it as a module, so I needed to recompile anyway. If this cures my wierd fast-download/slow-upload problem, I will report it back to the list. tia, wishing you well. - -- Jaye Inabnit<ARS ke6sls>A Debian-Gnu/Linux user If it's stupid, but works, it ain't stupid.
