that's great progress for one day. *nopcirouting is not typically helpful and if your machine worked before without pcirouting, it is unlikely that it would help now.
one silly quesiton. is the card plugged into a working network? is this different than before when it was working? at this point it would make a lot of sense to try the older driver. if the older driver works, there don't appear to be many changes so if this is the problem, you can easily figure out which one broke your 8139. - erik On Thu Mar 29 04:58:55 EDT 2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hello > > thanks for the encouragement. > > I compiled a new kernel without pccard support, and now it boots, even > the sdata wiht the new ids and the hd dma.
