The term "device timeout" isn't overly specific. It's from a driver that has expected an interrupt, and for some reason it didn't get it. There could be lots of reasons: - Could be that the board is set up incorrectly, as you suggest. This is one of the most common reasons. - Could be that the board is defective. - Could be that something else is missing. In the case of an Ethernet board, I'd guess that you have cabling problems. If that's not the case, and the board can support more than one kind of cable, check that it's set up for the correct cable. "man ed" will tell you what ifconfig flags you need for your particular cable. Greg
