Did you use an installer program for the GV card? Non-Apple ethernet drivers are typically not separate files or extensions but resources in the System file. In one case where I could not find the installer disk, I was able to copy a driver resource from one System file to another using ResEdit, but it's a hairy process (this was a desktop machine). That message appears when there is no cable, nothing active on the other end of the cable, or no hardware card matching the selected ethernet driver. When all else fails, be sure to trash AppleTalk preferences and zap the PRAM. Bryan Kattwinkel <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
