I don't know :(( There are even some network cards which don't work correctly with mii-tool, and of course, I have one at home : 3C905B fails to autonegociate and always report cable link is down.. This caused RH to disable mii-tool check in network initscript when using DHCP for RH 8.0 and with Mdk 9.0, we can't use DHCP with this card without patching ifup :(( -- Fr�d�ric Crozat MandrakeSoft
