I think D-Link now has Mac drivers for it. If not, then you can get the generic driver from RealTek's web site and (if necessary) patch the driver (instructions included) for the correct vendor ID. I've run one in my PowerCenter and been very happy with it under MacOS. LinuxPPC is a bit quirky with this ethernet chip, but can be made to run okay. What I really wish is that someone would write a MacOS driver for some common PC PCI ethernet cards (NE2000 and 3Com EtherLink III). <<<John>>> -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
