Well, I spent about 3 hours with it this evening and couldn't get it working. A few times it would sort of work and hang on the route add default, but once I broke it no network applications would work. tcpdump would output about one 25 line page and then not output anymore. When I broke it, it would report that the kernel dropped a lot of packets. Anyhow, other times it does the NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length 4864. Any ideas? I really need to get this card working... Thanks again! -matt -- Matthew C.
