If it does not, its possible that a) its not in the kernel.GENERIC and you will need to make a kernel with the drivers for your NIC b) if its an ISA card, you might have got the IRQ settings wrong c) It might not be a supported card. If you can force the card to work in ne2000 mode, then it might work with the ed driver. ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) Sentex Communications Corp, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers could setup a national IP network."
