Sorry for the long delay. I have not touched the mac until today. Also, noone else on the powerpc list responded.

I believe that's the same NIC I have, but I tried 3 different chips with the same result.

I have not tried this, however, adding another video card was not an option. I needed more than 1 10/100 nic and the usb card.

The onboard nic works fine with the other cards installed. Not sure about with an addon video card. > no usb here, but i wonder why you did not speak > of trying to move/remove that card ?? Because that card did not make a difference. I originally had it in the bottom slot, now it's in the top slot. > should i expect breakage on my upgrade ? well i will > try it anyway, if you want to wait a little bit, > maybe this will get me moving... If you have the same thing I have, then it probably will break. I have reported the bug to xserver-xorg-core package. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals Got Gas??? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
