I've never been able to get the nve driver to work with the nForce4 MCP9 (?) on board my Gigabyte K8N9(?) motherboard. I had been happily getting by with a spare intel 21143 (dc) PCI card until I upgraded to 6.1-STABLE this morning (after about a month away on holidays). Now I can't get either to work, even though ifconfig seems to be doing all of the right things. All of the other on-board things work fine: SATA, FW, memory etc. Cheers, -- Andrew
