I use this driver as well, and have had conversations with Bill Paul before on this. It is now working well enough for my needs (but not anywhere resembling perfect -- transfers either direction have to be initiated from a different host). Maybe your machine and my machine that flakes out are similar: [excerpts from dmesg] CPU: AMD Am5x86 Write-Back (486-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x4f4 Stepping=4 Features=0x1<FPU> real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes) chip0: <SiS 85c496> rev 0x31 on pci0.5.0 vr0: <VIA VT3043 Rhine I 10/100BaseTX> rev 0x06 int a irq 9 on pci0.13.0 vr0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:0c:c0:03:c1 vr0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 10Mbps) The best conclusion I could come up with is that particular PCI chipset is flakey [maybe the entire chipset]. Only one pci card I have tried in that system has worked properly, and that was a display adapter -- this is out of about 6 different PCI cards of various types. -- Zach Heilig <zach@uffdaonline.net> / Zach Heilig <zach@gaffaneys.com> "Americans are sensitive about their money, and since this was the first major change in the greenback in nearly 70 years, a radical redesign might have been too much for consumers to comprehend" -- John Iddings [COINage, Feb. 1999].
