I've also got a LinkSys card (the 10/100), and I get intermittent ed0:timeout messages as well, but the card still works. I've come to the point where I just ignore them. On a possibly related note, I happened to trip on the Ethernet cable once, yanking the whole dongle assembly out from the card. When putting it back in, I got a stream of ed0:timeout messages, and the card *wouldn't* work. Checking the tiny little pins inside the dongle, I saw that I had managed to bend the rightmost two. Using a safety pin, I bent them back, and the card came up again. What the heck, take a look... (Considering the very real possibility of future clumsiness on my part, let me ask this: can one buy replacement dongles from LinkSys?) -David.
