HA HA HA! someone *else* shares my pain. i have a belkin nic that has the admtek chipset, the 103 drivers work for about 30 minutes and then the nic is unresponsive, retsarting the network helps for about 15 minutes. i'm testing 105, which seems to be alot better. if you have a wired nic and a wireless in the machine, you NEED to configure two ifcfg-eth* files, as fedora doesn't seem to do it with this chipset. now, what you need to check is this in your ifcfg-eth0 file (the one for your wireless nic) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ for your wireless nic put in the HWADDRESS="" line, inserting your hardware MAC/ETHERNET address in there make sure you have an ifcfg-eth1 for your wired nic, and add the HWADDRESS="" line for that also. also, if you're using the wireless as your default route out to the world, get rid of the GATEWAY="" line in your wire'd nic's ifcfg-eth1 file now, check your /etc/modules.conf and make sure that the appropriate module is listed there for your different nics (my wired nic is natsemi) alias eth0 8211 alias eth1 natsemi now, i don't know if the gui tools work well taking care of this, the machine i did this on is only a p200 with 96mb of ram, and i didn't feel like waiting an hour for things to load. -d -+(duncan brown -+(duncanbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -+(http://www.linuxadvocate.net () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ - against microsoft attachments Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving wordy evidence of the fact. -- George Eliot
