VERY INTERESTING, I also have the Linksys PCMCIA ethernet card on my laptop, and it will not work in V7.1. I have tried the re-compiling method proposed by Gavin, and it will not compile without giving me a plethora of errors. This is why all my machines are dual boot with NT OS's. NT is the only Microsoft OS I will use. It can be streamlined in the installation, and, without that PnP bullshit, I can controll all of my I/O and IRQ addresses. Not to mention that on my SQL Server, I need to create files in excess of 2G, and NT will allow me to do this. Linux does not support files over the 2G limit. Say what you want but when it comes to spending 6 to 8 hours in just getting a network card to work, I will always go with the OS that allows me to not only see the dang netword card but to set up TCP/IP, DNS, NetBUI, WINS, and DHCP, and do all of this in less than an hour. This time saving element allows me to have some time to _play_ in Linux. Just my humble observation...........
