if you use a really recent 2.4.x kernel it should work. I think about a year ago a patch was introduced that allowed 48-bit addressing. I'd think it'd be part of the standard 2.4.x tree by now. I haven't read anything whether or not 2.2.x has such support I don't think it does. if all else fails run a search for 48 bit addressing linux on some search engines. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
