What I still can't figure out is why 3.2 RELEASE wouldn't recognize the NIC with the same two file in the same spot. If I can determine it was the drivers and not my error I can let Linksys know about it and they can change the README. I get the cable modem installed tommorrow and will repost on this thread with the NIC's performance. For $25 US, if this card performs well it's a real steal. Ian In the last episode, Ian P.
