The description reads more like its a switch rather than a multi-port card. I'm not sure how these would show up, but it doesn't immediately sound like you'd see 5 interfaces; possibly one "internal" interface. Think of things like the WRT54GL ... Have you tried plugging external devices into the ports while powered up and seeing of they can talk to each other? > My expectation was that each of the the five ports would have a MAC address > and be assigned an individual eth interface.

Sounds like it has shown up fine in your existing kernel, so you don't need the manufacturer's sources. What's the relevant output from dmesg, lshw, ifconfig and anything else you can think of? :-) -jim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
