It is indeed the current version of Debian Edu. The same NIC did work with Skolelinux 2.0 LTSP. Cf. http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=1284 From Kanotix (hwinfo) I get: 47: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10b7_9200' pci.product = '3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado]' pci.subsys_vendor = '3Com Corporation' info.bus = 'pci' pci.device_protocol = 0 (0x0) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_10b7_9200' pci.linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0' pci.subsys_product_id = 4096 (0x1000) ... 3c59x: module = 3c59x 3c59x: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0 ... net interface: name = eth0, path = /class/net/eth0 type = 1 hw_addr = 00:0a:5e:53:04:95 net device: path = /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0a.0 net driver: name = 3c59x, path = /bus/pci/drivers/3c59x ...

Just Readin Klaus-Ades latest comment - will try this on monday: > KlausAde wrote: > Could you try adding "acpi=off" to the append line in > /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default Cheers Regards Ralf.
