OK, I thought it had been reported. Unfortunately the alternative
might end up being gettin another brand NIC that will work, if you're
in a hurry ;( D-Links are cheap, work well. I've heard some less
than flattering stuff about Syslink NICs lately, even security holes
built into the hardware.
Yeah, I got 1 & 2 before 3, but the mirror (sunsite) was a little
slower than normal (busy as hell ;), and wouldn't allow 3 d/l's at
the same time. Took 2 hrs, 34 mins to get the first two RC1 iso's
simultaneously usin d4x on a 1.5 mb adsl connection. NBD, I d/l'd iso
3 while I was checking md5sums, and burnin 1 & 2 ;)
