Is this a plug and play capable nic? I wonder if this is one of those cards where it might get an interrupt and port assignment set by the plug and play software in windows, and then be unable to use those settings in Linux (for whatever reason). Lots of nics used to be set up this way a few years back and some were so cranky they came with their own configuration software disk, and god help you if you lost it. I would check your bios to see if there is a setting for Plug and Play OS installed, and tell it NO (or tell it the opposite of what it is currently set to). The NO choice tells the bios to do the plug and play configuration rather than leaving it up to the OS. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
