Hi Miod, Thanks for your reply. I've configured the network statically. So far I haven't tried it in DHCP client mode. I'm also having the 6.8 model with a 100MBit gem interface. Maybe I'll involve myself into some more detailed testing as well. Originally I just thought about getting another USB->Ethernet Interface, but at 30 EUR each and a tight budget I'd rather get the internal device working. cu Roman > > I have a similar PowerBook6,8 system, and have noticed it takes a > significant while (i.e. 10 seconds or more) after the interface is > brought up, for a link to be obtained.
