Now I did. Wow, if even the *author* of the kernel module says the following I may have to go NIC shopping: "PCI NE2000 clones are a bad idea ... This trend has continued to the PCI bus. A NE2000 design makes little sense here. " Certainly, it fits my observations; previous installations all used the same kernel module (but Win doesn't). The NIC worked fine in a local 10Mbps network, but cable modem may require something faster... Thanks man! ........................ Horst Mike, also thanks for the tip, but given the gravity of the statement above I may just waste time with kernel and/or IRQ tweaking at each new installation. > ... _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
