Here's my dmesg report on bootup: eth0: ADMtek Centaur-P rev 17 at 0x1000, 00:04:5A:54:E1:3C, IRQ 11. eth0: MII transceiver #1 config 3000 status 786d advertising 01e1. tulip.c:v0.92w 7/9/2001 Written by Donald Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.scyld.com/network/tulip.html eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #1 link partner capability of 45e1. That MAC address look okay? It seems to work fine so far. If it ends up _really_ sucking, then I'm only down $10. :) -Rob
