a quick bit of googlin suggested that the card has a realtek 8139c chipset. a quick trip to: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?series=16&Software=True#16Others indicated that if it is indeed a 8139c, realtek has drivers for MacOS >8.5. Download and install said drivers, reboot, and you should be able to select "connect via" in the tcp/ip cp and choose ethernet. All other setup should be via dhcp. IMHO, most cable internet techs are idiots. HTH tom -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
