Thanks, Adrian. With a couple minor notes changes, I'm using this patch. What's nice is this also takes care of the DCA configuration issue as well such that I don't need to add #ifdef's to the code. Doing this changes an argument I gave to Satyam, but the effect is small enough that it shouldn't matter. Once I get my git tree cleaned up again (I'll learn this part yet...) I'll have it out, probably tomorrow. sln ====================================================================== Mr. Shannon Nelson LAN Access Division, Intel Corp.
