James, Thanks for the link, man! I read through the posts and slapped my head silly for not thinking to try the RedHat version of the Savage driver. After all, the card works in RedHat 9.0. It worked in Knoppix. It just stands to reason that I have to use a different distro's driver and maybe make some system adjustments, as "kb" has also suggested. It's too late for me to test this out as the card is permanently relegated to other duties, but I have bookmarked the URL and printed it out for future reference. Thanks again. T
