I got it working by connecting the network card my old 100mbit hub. It seems that the problem is only when it runs a 1gbit. So my setup is now 1gbit switch <> computers, 1mbit hub <> machine with broken netcard. This is good enough for now, since I don't really transfer that much data to and from the machine, but of course I would like to have 1gbit working for when I actually do need it ;-) > BTW I'm not subscribed, please CC me personally. > > > Thanks in advance, > -- Jos -- Anders Rune Jensen http://people.iola.dk/anders/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
