You should be more specific about your setup. Many people (including me) use these cards. SMC is a fairly weak term: it can be anything between a WD8003 and a 100 Mbit/s card using the DEC chipset. Make sure you've got the correct medium selected. When in doubt, don't use autoselect, but use the DOS program accompanying the card, and force it to use BNC or UTP or whatever. Also, watch the boot messages. The drivers usually tell you what they think they have found. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
