I find that odd (though believable) that on of the most popular network cards in existence has a problem in RHL 8. I remember having problems with NICs in RHL 5 or 6, but 8?
I suppose I'll try a different brand (Netgear's always been good to me), but part of me wants to try and stick it out and figure this issue out. -----Original Message----- From: John Nichel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 4:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: System Drops off Network I had a box running RedHat 7.3 doing this with the exact same NIC. Put a Netgear NIC in, and the problem hasn't come back (8 months now). I've also had problems with Linksys NIC's on Linux.
