I've had one of the those cards before (my cable provider issues them)... they are basically crap. Not only was I never able to get it working under linux, but I've talked to a couple of knowledgable people who couldn't do it either. My recomendation: Put that card in a windoze machine, a get a slightly better card for you linux one. I use a D-link DFE-538TX myself... it's only about $20 and works without a hitch (indeed, it even comes with a linux driver in case the one with your kernel doesn't work). -- John Patton [EMAIL PROTECTED] "As long as people will accept crap, it will be financially profitable to dispense it." - Dick Cavett
