I understand your desire to get a piece of unknown hardware working. It's a great challenge sometimes. But there's no reason to let it get to the point that it drives you to hair plugs. Get a $5 NIC from your local PC store, preferably something like a cheap Linksys/Netgear (that's known to work). Then twiddle with the unknown card in your spare time. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net
