Hmm; why use DE4X5 and not TULIP? What machine are you running? I DID have trouble with some earlier -testXX kernels with the TULIP driver and older (EV4/EV5) boxes with builtin TULIP NICs, but those problems seem to have gone away with the most recent (-test11 at least) version. --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook HPTC - LINUX support Hewlett-Packard Company - MRO1-2/K15 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
