Not at one of those machines presently, and I don't recall the specific model atm, but it uses the de4x5 or tulip drivers. The fix I've seen in the past was to buffer the descriptors to 32 bytes (cache line size?). I've had to do the same for the epic100 driver when using it in that machine. On W

The 6500 has some quirks, I've got a couple of the 250 MHz model, and have had plenty of annoyance dealing with these issues. Just to be sure, if you do "ifdown eth0" then "ifup eth0", does it re-enable the ethernet? Thanks, in fact if the computer's network has hung, then the command "ifdown e
