A DLINK DWL-G520 (Rev 2) seams to work fine (at an ASUS K8V with a Duron 1800Mhz). =) And I hope the drivers will be ported to other archs too! (like AMD64.. :-( ) Btw: Some boards have problems if you include some PCI-Cards to some PCI-Slots. Mostly the card work in another PCI-Slot (then it depends to the damn sharings) but sometimes some Cards wont work at some motherboards (some greets to the old VIA Chipsets and others..). Kind regards, Sebastian
