Many thanks, Ian. The alx driver from the URL you provided above did the job. There are installation instructions there on the web site. There were a couple of glitches in the "make" because I lacked some necessary packages for the build, but the error messages were clear. The HP h8-1320t is now communicating on its ethernet port. Thanks again to all who responded. Stowe Davison
