Dominic, I'm really not sure to follow this thread right, but it looks like you configured your kernel like that device rl # RealTek 8129/8139 #device vr # VIA Rhine, Rhine II This is for a DFE530TX+ (Note the "+" here) For a DFE530TX ( *Without* the '+') adapter, you should configure uncommented out the line device vr # VIA Rhine, Rhine II Be cautious using this card at 100Mbps though, since it's apparently buggy and causes notoriously the /kernel: vr0: Watchdog timeout message, while the network hangs all around. It _seems_ better at and safer at 10Mbps, not really a complete workaround. Could anyone on the list update about the watchdog timeout status of the bug? Hope my suggestion could help on your specific problem. -- Marco ---------Original Message----------------------- I've tried both your suggestions (and the ones from Felix-Antoine Paradis). Sadly though these haven't helped, I still get the same error as I had before. Dont know what to try know, Thanks both of you for your excellent help anyway.
